Dear Peter,

right from the beginning we designed our iOS app so that every microscopist independently 
of the system in his lab is able to use our spectra viewer and can configure all the filters and 
presets tailored to his very own experimental setup. while Light Lab includes some ZEISS-
specific presets (and might include some more in future updates) this is completely for 
convenience and as a service to users of our systems. 

we encourage every microscopist to use Light Lab with his own system settings no matter 
from which vendor your system or filters are. and if I might add, I really fought hard for the 
free configuration options ^^

in 2012 we have some interesting new projects centered around George's database, so give 
us a little time here. and please don't be afraid that we'd try to 'own' pubspectra: our main 
interest lies in establishing a standard database source and format for the whole scientific 
community together with you. we deeply respect the work George has put into pubspectra 
and we value the 'open source' spirit behind it. a well-maintained standardized database 
with an open file format (xml, anybody?) and an easy-to-use open source windows GUI  
makes our work easier, it makes your work easier, and we don't care too much if it also 
makes the work of our competitors' easier.

stay with us, and have a nice evening!
