Hi Lisa, I think you have seen the best
instruments. Why would you look any further? What can you tell US?
I would choose between 710, SP5, and the
Prairie Ultima. What you choose depends of course on how you want to use the
system.
We have a Zeiss 510NLO system and a
Prairie.
I really like the Prairie system for 2P
in-vivo work!
I am happy to talk with you at length
about the systems if you like. I received much help from those in the
microscopy community prior to making my decision.
Cheers,

Subject: Recommendations for
commercial multi-photon system purchase
I
have been investigating commercial multi-photon systems for awhile in order to
purchase a system for my Institute's core microscopy facility. Our interest is
to have the capability to do intravital imaging on an upright stand, but also
be able to have facility users be able to put slides on and use the visible
scanner and detectors. I realize this is a tall order for such versatility in
one system, but since it is for a core (which needs to bring in revenue), I'm
looking for the most flexible system. Does anyone have any suggestions about
the most recent systems on the market? Or could you point out factors you think
are the most important for making the decision on which company to go with?
Please feel free to contact me off line.
I
have seen a demo of the Leica SP5 MP, Zeiss 710 NLO, Olympus MPE and Prairie's
system.
(BTW
- my own experience is with widefield and confocal live-cell imaging, so I have
not done 2-p myself, but have been learning about it for about a year)
Thanks!
- Lisa
