Dear Christophe,
You are right about the laser box, I was told it will come equipped with 405-488-561 diodes.
I think the major improvement is a motorised control of the beam coupling to the back focal plane (its an objective type TIRF). It can couple from different directions, so if there are shading artifacts, these can be addressed, also the position along the radius of the BFP and thus the angle to the glass/water interface can be controlled automatically. Several different pre-set angles can be approached automatically, which together with the control of the AOTF allows to compare images at different strength and 'depth' of the evanescent field.
My impression when I saw it at the FOM in Valencia and at the ELMI in York earlier this year wasry good in terms of ease-of-use and concept, but it was a bit slow to access the different angles etc.I was told the issue of speed will be addressed soon by a programmable external controler.
Product Manager at Leica was Christian May.
No commercial interest.
regards, jens

Thank you for your reply ! But your link points to the "old" Leica TIRF system (called AM TIRF). I was curious to know what improvements have been made with the new "AM TIRF MC". The only thing I know from the ad is that it's sporting a new fancy "Darth Vader" black environmental box, and that it is pictured with the same small laser box/computer that is found on the TCS SPE confocal (diode-based "affordable" confocal), so it seems to be based on diode lasers.
