Yup, we definitely won't loose focus

"My core is moving to nanoscope(s)"
Surely these technologies are complementary, not mutually exclusive.  We're getting super res in the not-too-distant future, but these systems certainly won't be replacing our confocals.  I guess it all depends on the application, but I can't see many core facilities losing their confocal imaging capabilities in preference to super res.

Dear Confocal listserv,

I now have approval to sell our Zeiss LSM510 confocal microscope.
Briefly, 4 PMT system (not META), Axiovert 200M motorized stand, Argon ion visible laser, HeNe543, HeNe633, several objective lenses. UV laser ready. You can optionally purchase from us the Coherent Enterprise I UV laser, power supply, LP5 chiller - UV laser is not currently operation so needs refurbishing ($8500 from Evergreen Laser, similar price from Laser Innovations, no including shipping). System was under service contract until Feb 1 of this year. Three PMT's were replaced last year, so in pretty good shape.

Zeiss currently has a promotion to trade in an LSM510 or Bio-Rad confocal for $75K credit toward a LMS710 or 780. My core is moving to nanoscope(s), so I am not going to use the promotion (and Zeiss is not offering it for their PAL-m or SIM or even TIRF systems). Even if you don't get in on the promotion, you could negotiate for that amount with your Zeiss rep.

I have a potential buyer so don't wait around long. We can arrange with Zeiss field service to find shipping crates and they can pack and unpack. You can visit Miami to try it out (sorry - rainy season just started).

Sincerely,

George
