Hello,
In regards to your second point, Molecular Probes, Inc. does a great job
keeping track of most of their fluorescent indicators and probes. I'd
simply like a short list of references where the Zeiss LSM410 has been
used in published papers in the area of biology. I believe this would
benefit your users and help to sell your microscope to prospective buyers.
