Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal SOrry for the delayed response. Coherent does provide such a service. Our yearly service contract is about 5% of the purchase price, but they have different rates depending on the # of hours expected for the year (and thus allowed for in the service contract). Try calling them at 1-800-367-7890, i think option 4. Cheers, Jeff Jeff Reece Biomedical Engineer Confocal Microscopy Center National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) P.O.
