  Hi

We are currently considering a TILL Photonics iMIC TIRF microscope with
Polytrope imaging switch and Yanus IV scan head. I'd be grateful for
comments (positive or negative) about this system from current users.
Demos are informative but you can't beat long term experience of a piece
of equipment.

Thanks for your help

Colin

Ditto... :)

(well almost - not looking at all the options in the first instance but possibly want to add down the track).

Hi Colin

I'd love to read a quick summary of the answers you get! I am in the same
situation: have seen the demo and got quite impress but I wonder a bit about
the stability (ie how much does it vibrate) of such a stand in TIRF.

Med vänlig hälsning / Best regards

  Hi

No problem. I'll let you know if I find out anything.
