This Leica TCS SP2 confocal microscope was purchased for $186,703 in 2005.
It was maintained in a research lab at the University of Utah School of
Medicine and used by several researchers in the Department. It was
maintained continuously on a Leica service contract and fully functional until
last year when the computer failed. Otherwise, all parts, including the laser,
are fully functional. We are in contact with a former Leica service
representative who was responsible for maintaining this instrument over the
years. He is able to provide future service and maintenance. The suspension
table for the microscope was purchased separately and is not included in the
purchase price (although this can be negotiated).
