It was my understanding the new software is for the SP version, the K scam
version of the hardware, and soon to be back engineered for the TCS.  I am
very happy with my technical assistance and if my rep. suggested waiting, I
would.  Keep in mind that w/o the software running the confocal, all you
have is an isolated fluorescent microscope sitting next to some black boxes.


I find solace in 100% functionality while waiting.

Hi, out there -

I was wondering if any fellow LeicaSP/NT/TCS owners/users out there have
upgraded to the *new* version of their software, which is no longer reported
to run via MS Excel?

Our sales rep is resistant to urges of upgrade and recommends waiting until
the bugs are worked out of it, but  I am wondering what people's opinions
and experiences are of this newer version?

Thanks in advance for all comments!
