we had access for two months last summer to the Brucker Opterra.  It is
exceedingly fast, we saw exceedingly low toxicity relative to our spinning
disc for live cell work on three different species of embryos, and very
controllable.  Just viewed their totally upgraded software package at the
ASCB meeting making the system easy to use and ideal for cell biology and
neuroscience. The price point is really competitive and better than most
commercial systems.
