Tanya,

We are a dealer for OptiGrid in the US.

It can be fitted to most modern microscopes.  If you are interested in
determining if it will fit to your microscope, please feel free to give me a
call.

The system works very well for fluorescence as well as reflected brightfield
applications.

We don't have the webpage posted for the OptiGrid system yet, but we do have
some images posted that were acquired with our 3D/extended focus system before
the OptiGrid equipment was added to the equation.  When adding the OptiGrid to
the system, the images are even better!  There are some really nice 3D image
movies here as well as the 2D "complete focus" images.

You can check out some of the sample images/3D movies here:

If you would like some literature on the OptiGrid system or have any questions,
feel free to give me a call or email me.

Thanks!
Jim Haley
