I used the Leica TIRF system at QFM last week. It is really a very
impressive system.  It self aligns, and also allows truly full field TIRF
illumination.  It looks quite expensive (not sure of how expensive) but
optically it is really very very good.  For tinkerers like myself its not
the system of choice (its somewhat of a "black box" system but for folks who
want a turnkey, "core friendly" TIRF device it really is a must see.

I just discovered the new TIRF microscope from Leica, the "Multicolor" 
TIRF,  trough their ad in the latest Git Verlag "Imaging and Microscopy" 
issue. Sadly, the ad points to a non-existing web page (namely 
www.leica-microsystems.com/AM_TIRF_MC) I'm wondering if URL can have 
underscores, not mentionning the lack of any html or dynamic file 
extension to the page.

Do anyone have informations on this new system or a link where I could 
find more infos ? I'd also be glad to hear about fiber confocal that 
should be out soon, based on what Leica will present in July. I've no 
commercial interest with this company, just curious.


Thanks a lot,
