Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal We are in the process of putting together a spinning disk confocal system.  We have heard mixed things about how acceptable it is to do transmitted light microscopy (DIC or Phase) through the spinning disk, as opposed to running a separate camera through a separate microscope port.  What have others found?
