NOTE THAT I HAVE NO INTEREST IN THIS COMPANY.
Optiscan manufacture a unique fibre optic confocal system here in Australia. It
is a complete confocal system which fits onto any microscope. This is
achieved by attaching the scanning head to a camera port of the
scope. It is available for around US$72,000.
The web site for Optiscan can be viewed on "http://203.20.2.19".
I hope that this is of help
Steven
