Anyone familiar with a Leica TCS NT confocal circa 1997?
A lab close to us has one, but it is not working. Leica no longer supports this model and I am wondering if it is the trouble to get it going. Don't know the exact situation, they say it stopped working after they shoved (their word) it out of the lab to make room for something else. I think the operative word here is 'shoved'. I would kind of like to get this thing at least partially operational. I talk to my students a lot about confocal scopes but do not have anything I can actually demonstrate.

We have one of these instruments still in working condition. If you can be more specific about what "not working" means I might be able to provide some suggestions. Leica may not provide spare parts but they should still at least check the machine and tell you what is wrong. Have you tried contacting your local service engineer ?
