*****COMMERCIAL RESPONSE*****
Dear Kai,
Apologies for inserting another post from an organisation with a commercial interest, but it is relevant here to point out that the Crest X-Light V2 spinning disk from Crest Optic (Which we supply and integrate) is an excellent option for fast, large field of view imaging. This system has options available to fully illuminate and image from conventional sensors right up to  the full field of the Photometrics Prime 95B-25 on the new Nikon Ti2 frame. It can be supplied with a range of different and interchangeable disks with pinhole patterns optimised for high or low NA objectives, spiral patterns for very high speed imaging, or even dual patterns. The X-Light is fully motorised as standard with excitation, dichroic and emission wheels and also includes a motorised bypass mode for compatibility with TIRF / Widefield and other modalities.
We typically integrate the X-light as part of a multi-modal imaging system with fast scanning TIRF, random access FRAP and a variety of super-resolution approaches. If you are interested in more details of any of this please do get in touch

Dear list,
 

 
our facility is currently looking into whats the "best" high-end CSU-W1 Spinning-Disc solution, namely
 

 
1) Andor Dragonfly
 
2) Nikon CSU-W1
 
3) Visitron CSU-W1
 

 
Besides testing in the field, it would also be ideal for us to learn from people that own one of these systems.
 

 
So if you have one of these systems we'd greatly appreciate feedback and how they perform in your lab or facility.
 

 
Thanks and cheers,
 
Kai
