http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hello, I am currently researching a possibility of acquiring a multi photon system for our imaging core facility. What are typical maintenance costs of such systems? Are they very different from single photon (confocal) systems? I do realize that my question is rather general and I am not expecting very detailed answers. Anything that you could share would be helpful. Thank you very much, Daniel F. |

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal For a general answer to your general question, I would say that the difference is the laser. A service contract is roughly 10% of the cost of the equipment so a service contract on a 2P laser will be more than a vis laser. A 2P laser is around $200k and the contract is around $15k yearly. Also, given that a 2P system would lack a scan head it may be more simple and less expensive to maintain. However, you may consider a service contract here as well which would add expense after the first year following normal warranty coverage. If you want to talk more about 2P systems you can contact me directly.

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal In terms of the laser it self, there are a few things to consider. If you go with a Ti:Saph laser, it doesn't actually need a whole lot from day to day. From my experience with our own lab's laser, it needs an occasional top-up of distilled/filtered water for the cooling chiller (maybe a liter once every couple months!). If you plan on running the laser below 860nm or so you generally have to purge the laser cavity with ultra pure (5.0) dry nitrogen. Our own lab has a researcher that works at 925nm and we go through a tank every couple months. Finally, most Ti:Saphs use diode lasers as a pump source. These diodes can work for anywhere from 5 to 10 years, and cost about 10-20k to replace. From a facilities standpoint, Ti:Saphs require a fairly clean, temperature-stable environment. They put out a lot of heat from the chiller, so it is important to ensure your room has adequate air conditioning to handle the thermal load. If the temperature changes more than a couple degrees over the course of a day it can be bad for the laser. Hope this helps!

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hi Craig Why use expensive ultra pure nitrogen? I thought it was mostly water vapor that you need to reduce in the cavity so that regular grade nitrogen should be OK. (the H2O absorbance reduces the cavity gain) Come to that, even dried air might be suitable.

Hello Daniel, You should consider the maintenance/expendables associated with the pump laser; the diodes will likely need to be replaced after a certain number of hours, this may be a cost you want to plan ahead for. Karl

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Two words: Dust Particles. Any dirt that makes it into the optical cavity will shorten the life of the laser. The reason to use the pure nitrogen is that its very, very clean. When you are dealing with the kind of power levels that get slung around inside the optical cavity of a Ti:Saph, you don't want any contamination! If you can get super clean dry air then more power to you, but why risk a $100k laser for the sake of a few bucks of pure n2?

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hi Craig Interesting idea, but in 10 years of operating a Ti:S, I've not noticed any problem with dust flying around inside the cavity. (You can see room dust when working on the cavity with the covers off). In any case, as far as I know, commercial compressed gasses _are_ filtered. Here's an alternative: N2 blow off from a liquid N2 dewar - it is dry and squeeky clean...

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Our lab is very dusty due to an old ventilation system, so our problem may be worse than yours. As with any lab and laser system, "your mileage may vary" depending on your specific condtions. The N2 dewar idea is very interesting. What do you use in your system?

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal John, I noticed with interest your recent employment note on the Microscopy listserver and hope that you are having good success. Our publication, Microscopy Today, is mailed six times per year to over 16,000 microscopists -- each of whom has either specifically requested the publication or were automatically subscribed as an MSA member benefit. Our next issue closes soon and will be mailed on or about January 15th. You may consider placing your employment ad with us. We offer employment advertisements at the reduced rate of $475 for a quarter-page (3 5/8 in. W X 5 in H) insertion. Larger (3 5/8" W) employment ads can be purchased for an additional $90 per inch over 5 inches high. Should you be interested, normal procedure is for you to supply your text by email , or fax the copy to us at (727) 507-7102. We will typeset, add a border, etc., and email back a PDF draft copy of the advertisement with a quote at no obligation to you. After your price approval, proof, changes, corrections, and billing instructions, are received, we will publish. You may include a logo if you wish. Kindly advise rather soon should you be interested in this proposal as the timing for this issue is becoming critical.
