I would second the motion of separating image acquisition from analysis and long term storage, especially if you will capture lots of multidimensional data sets. You want the acquisition computer to be reserved for acquisition and not sequestered for long times by people doing image analysis and rendering.

Hi all,

we are buying a new fluorescent microscope wide-field system. The system include a workstation with 64GB DDR4 RAM, 11GB of graphic card, 512 gb of memory and SSD-RAID of 2TB. There is an option to increase the SSD-RAID to 4TB for  about 6000$ extra. The system will be use for both fixed materiel imaging and for live-imaging with time-laps, z-stack, tiling and multi-fluorophores experiments. I was wondering if it is worth to invest those extra money for this option or not. This will be the first time we will have time-laps experiments, so I don't know what to expect as pictures size.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your comments and opinions!
