The National Museum of Health and Medicine, Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology (home of the Billing's Microscope collection) is considering
collecting a Zeiss LSM-310 used at AFIP.  

I would appreciate any information on the history and significance of
this particular model (which I suspect is a third generation production
model of the confocal microscope by Zeiss) of microscope.  

I would also appreciate any leads on first generation confocal
microscopes for the collection. 

Thank you.
