John,

We got two of these critters when I was still at the LSU main campus:
http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=1972 to fulfill
Leica's requirements to protect our SP2.  We had horrible line
conditions that caused some hardware failures and these fixed the
problems.  Kind of pricy though.

Hi,
I am having problems with fluctuating voltage since our physical plant
replaced the perfectly good transformer outside the building with a
"new"
version (my wife works at a transformer plant, so I know they don't go
bad
unless something catastrophic occurs). Since then I've had some pretty
good
spikes, surges, etc.. and most are correlated with increase/decrease of
student presence on campus.  Our campus electrical experts and confocal
service engineer are better at pointing fingers than providing
solutions.
I feel better now.  On to the important stuff.

I was hoping for some feedback on good line conditioners that would be
appropriate for a variety of imaging equipment.  I realize that several
different configurations might be needed.  We have a confocal and two
SEMs
affected.  I suspect our eventual, new confocal will experience similar
difficulties.

Thanks in advance!
