Hi all,

Well, over 3 weeks of Obama World and we can still be hopeful.

Despite all the economic gloom, applications for the 14th UBC 3D 
Live-Celll Course continue to come in, and participation by the 
manufacturers remains strong.

  In fact, I have just heard that, rather than sending the multi-beam, 
swept-field system that they sent last year, Prairie Technologies 
will be sending their 2-photon system in 2009. This will be a real 
help because it  has been a while since we had a modern 2-photon 
system available for the 14 student labs.

We also expect functioning 3D Workstations from the other 
manufacturers that have supported us down the years as reported at 
http://www.3dcourse.ubc.ca/2009/public.php?page=companies

Hope to see you at UBC.

Jim Pawley
