Has anyone replaced the mercury illuminator on an Olympus IX-81 with  
a non-arc source such as metal-halogen or LED?  I'm looking for  
experiences regarding reliability, operational cost and performance  
on a laser scanning confocal installation.

Off-line commercial responses are welcome.
Thanks,
Glen
