After reading this entire thread, I'm wondering if anyone has experience comparing the A1R (which is receiving great reviews here) directly to the Zeiss 710 and the Leica SP5??  

We are planning to purchase one of these instruments specifically for slice and intravital imaging and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on these systems this list has to offer!!

Many thanks and kind regards!

Hello everyone,

Well right now I don't have anything substantial to add to the discussion except that we were in similar situation and we are going with Nikon A1. The decision was simply based on our imaging needs and the superiority of Nikon A1. The instrument is being installed as we speak and I'm really excited to use it. It will be pretty big jump from Leica SP2 to this A1

However I do have a question and this comes from the inexperience. What advantage that A1r scanhead provides vis a vis A1? I know it has high speed imaging capabilities but would you say A1 can do most of the job for live cell imaging?

Thanks,
Amol
