Hello -

Question for those of you who have a Leica SP5X (the white light laser version)
-

What has been your experience with maintenance and need for service on the white
light laser?
Do people recommend getting the service contract on the laser once the warrantee
at purchase is over?

I run a microscopy facility and have service contracts on all the equipment and
do feel it's a good idea especially in a facility. However Leica has made the
white light laser service contract separate from the main confocal service
contract and the price of both more than doubles the yearly cost of the SP5
alone.

Thanks for any input (and feel free to contact me off list).

- Lisa
