No, i have not yet seen any of the spinning disk systems. Yokogawa is very famous but i really want to know that how reasonable is to buy a laser based multipoint scanning system than buying fluorescence based spinning disk. (we already have single point scanning system, one only confocal and another confocal with live cell, both laser based.)

have you tested the Olympus DSU? I am wondering how it would compare with the yokowaga scanhead based systems.

Dear All

I request all the members to please help me to decide for a spinning disk
confocal microscope for our facility which is a multiuser facility for the
whole university. We already have a point scanning confocal system from
Olympus. We will have another point scanning confocal soon with all the live
cell imaging accessories (laser based).
For very fast phenomenon like measuring Calcium Flux in the cells, we want
to have a multi point scanning system. But i am unable to decide whether i
should take a fluorescence based spinning disk or laser based spinning disk
confocal.
Also, please give me some feedback for CARV II (multi point confocal,
fluorescence based).
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
