Tino, 

There are many HCA/HCS systems with different capabilities and very different price tags; you can find a review here:

John Comley also published a market survey of HCS instruments. I can't find the URL, but I will send a pdf to your personal email address.


Also, on volume of Methods in Molecular Biology (Vol 356), and one of Methods in Enzymology (Vol 14, 2006) are devoted to HCS. Might be worth having a look at them. This might give you some ideas of teh different factors to consider, depending on your own needs...

prom Perkin Elmer or scan^r from Olympus?

Is there any other HCS system you can suggest (high end objective & cam
are necessary)?

Thanks for your help,
