I should add that ours is a multi-user facility with a user base of
around 60. Also the laser paths are quite stable, I tend to do an
aligment check every three months or so when I realize I haven't done
one for a while. Only once in 4 years has it needed more than the
slightest tweak.

Am I correct in assuming that there is no simple practical way to share
a single multiphoton laser with two confocal systems (e.g., one system
on an inverted frame for routine work and the other on an upright frame
dedicated for electrophysiology work)? If someone has actually
accomplished this, especially in a multi-user environment, I would
appreciate hearing about it. Thanks, Tom
