I have a question about prints in the LFR.  What film do you use and
          did you get appropriate color?  I had trouble getting my images to
          come out looking the right hue.  Lasergraphics worked out a different
          color balance (rather than 100% of each RG&B), but I'm not entirely
          sure that solved the problems.  We just bought a color digital printer
          and no one has tried it since.  The color balance Lasergraphics
          advised is - 122% red, 100% green, and 186% blue.  We used 100 ASA
          Kodak gold film (I think)  THANKS.

I will have to put my vote in for the Lasergraphics system as well.
We also have the Montage system here which is almost identical and is
slightly more bug free, but of an older generation with a few convieniences
missing. Both produce excellent prints and slides (depending on the film you
load), and are operational off of our Mac II's. We convert images from
the microscope and image processing output to PICT format, which the
systems read in. Both Lasergraphics and Montage will interface with PC's as
well.
