you are right that this development doesn't fit to all the statements
from the past. However, I am glad that they finally decided to jump over
their own shadow and moved to a single pinhole system. It's a pain to
align multi pinhole systems like the 510, especially if one wants to
perform serious colocalisation analysis. Moreover, it will be difficult
to offer a multi pinhole spectral system.
