First of all, thanks for the always informative lists over the years. As a grad student learning microscopy, they have been very interesting and useful.
I am writing because I will soon not be a graduate student anymore and will be starting my own lab at a very small liberal arts college. I will be doing some cell and molecular biology research, along with my teaching, and I hope to be able to image fluorescent molecules in zebrafish... on a very limited research budget!
The college already has an Olympus IX-50 that is nice... however, it is not equipped for fluorescence. And the epi-fluorescence illuminator turret for the IX-50 is not being made anymore! The turret for the IX-51 or 71 does not fit the older scope. (However, I think the turret for the IX-70 would actually work.)
If anyone has one of these sitting around (or anything else that you might want to donate...) please email me off-list. I do have some start-up funds to buy an illuminator turret or limited other enhancements, but not enough for a whole new scope with all the bells and whistles!
Thanks again!
Kate
