Hi David,
we resell the CARV II widefield confocal from
BD (but not in your area) - Its easy to use, fast (50FPS is
achievable), not as cheap as a grid confocal, but certainly worth seeing if
your budget can stretch to it.
Feel free to contact me directly if you have
difficulty getting information or wish to see some example images
etc.
Regards,
Tim.

I want to put together the most cost effective confocal-like system to do
single plane time lapse imaging with relatively light sensitive cells
(Dictyostelium). I have a very limited budget, and this is for teaching,
not research so maximum resolution is not an issue. Here is the list of
approaches that seem possible. Any comments appreciated:
Grid confocal: how many sections does it take and how long does it take
to acquire? Can you do live cells that are moving?
Deconvolution: If you only want one focal plane, what can you get away
with in terms of minimum focal planes of capture to help with deblurring
Olympus DSU: ?
Any others I should be looking into?
