The deconvolution is painfully slow, especially the "best" mode. This
is with the PC they sold us, 4 Gb ram, Windows XP. Even after 20
hours it may not be done. There is no way to save in progress, so
either the job needs to be cancelled or no one can use the scope
until the job is done (and no time estimate to completion).
I like the 3D rendering module. Had a rendered dithizone fluorescent
pancreatic islet for Nature Protocol's web site image of the week a
couple of weeks ago.
There are some strange bugs in AxioVision's (4/2007 release) macros
control of my Axiovert 200M's filter cubes and shutters.
