Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear Nuno,

 Wouldn't auto-exposure on cameras suffice for maintaining constant intensity?

Apparently most of the commercial adaptive optics systems are geared towards astronomy. Perhaps you have known this already: http://cfao.ucolick.org/
Interesting to note that James Webb space telescope will have hardware and intelligence for adaptive optics evolved from algorithms developed for correcting aberrations for hubble telescope.

Does anyone knows any commercial widefield SYSTEM that makes an
adaptative focus. And I mean adaptative (follows the cell.

The other feature is a commercial system that keeps intensities, i.e.,
if you have something with different protein expression levels over
time, the system will correct the exposure time so that at the end the
intensities are constant.

Many thanks,
