We are currently in the process of arranging a demo of the Nikon
PCM 2000, the so-called 'personal confocal microscope' and I was wondering
if anybody had any comments on this system. Its niche in the confocal
market is that it is fairly cheap (about 100k) and can be used for a
variety of applications. There are several microscopes that do what we
want to do (calcium imaging) better than this one but we simply can't
afford them. Any comments on the clarity of images, ease of use, etc.
would be greatly appreciated.
