To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy ***** Hi Phil, I wasn't familiar with this microscope, so I did a little googling. It looks like Gillette and Siebert are now under the umbrella of: www.elcomatic.co.uk Kirktonfield Road Neilston Glasgow, G78 3PL UK (+44)141 881 5825 A google search also suggests there seem to be a number for sale. It may be worthwhile contacting some sellers...

To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy ***** A transmitted fluorescence microscope! Wow, I thought those things went out in the 60s. A colleague of mine was blinded in one eye by one ... (but I guess not using a halogen lamp!) Can you get any useful image from it? Looking at the current website, the microscopes seem to be rather routine widefield transmitted light systems, in regular and 'tropical' varieties. They say that they all have Köhler illumination, which many other cheap systems don't, and that may be why some UK amateurs like them. From the look of them I'd guess that they are made in China.

To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy ***** OK, I'd guess late 60s. I was very involved in movie making back then and quartz-halogen lamps were the big new thing. They didn't exist in the 50s (the GE patent is 1959, though there had been other patents back in the 19th century which came to nothing.) Several microscope manufacturers, seeing the higher colour temperature of these lamps, proposed using them for fluorescence. But I'm surprised that at such a date it would have been done in transmission rather than epi (Ploem).
