Dear All,,

We have been planning to update our Zeiss Axioobserver Z1inverted
epifluorescence microscope with TIRF. Since we have a multi laser bench,
the first option we thought was the Zeiss TIRF slider which could be
inserted/adapted in to the zeiss epifluorescence platforms. After
requesting a quote for the same we were told that Zeiss is Discontinuing
the LASER TIRF and can not quote for the same. Is it true or is it only for
the south Asian market ?and Is there any idea on how are they planning to
equip the TIRF on the existing epifluorescence systems lie Axioobservers in
the future? It is a bit hard for us to get a timely and clear response
through our Indian Vendors. Any help on this matter will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks a lot and have a nice week ahead
Deepak

Hi Deepak,

As far as I know Zeiss has pulled out of the TIRF market last year.

Best,
Michael

What about the Zeiss Elyra? (No commercial interest).

Dear All,

Thanks everyone and Zeiss Europa for chipping in on the TIRF slider.
Michael is right that they pulled down the TIRF slider
John, the feedback from zeiss indicate that they will continue to provide
TIRF with Elyra ( No commercial interest)

Best
Deepak

Try some third party TIRF illuminators like 3i or Cairn
