Hallo,
for colleagues located in the East Central Texas, I would like to let you know
that out imaging facilty will have a 2.5-week demo of Leica CW STED  system,
as well as some other instruments, starting Feb-15, 2012.
If you are in the area and would be interested in visiting the demo, please
contact me.

Hi Stan,

You may want to order a STAR 440XS reagent(s) from Abberior.com - i.e.
an antibody conjugate - to evaluate as a second color (458 nm
excitation). The Pacific Orange and ATTO 425 we used during our
August-September demo in Miami performed poorly.

I hope Leica has replaced its pathetic demo vibration isolation table
with a table that is useful - our custom STED proposals in September
specified a 300 mm thick TMC table instead of Leica's demo or quote
tables (Leica confocal, B-Halle.de 3D-EasySTED segmented waveplates,
Coherent Chameleon Ultra II + OPO-Vis. estimate 50x50x210 nm XYZ ... see
the Abberior web site for their segmented waveplates and).

Alexa Fluor 488 and EGFP worked well - when the building was not
vibrating the microscope.

The leica demo machine should have at least one HyD detector - very nice.

George
p.s. if you have mouse brain users - see PubMed 22301313.
For more on 3D-EasySTED, my spreadsheet at
http://works.bepress.com/gmcnamara/3/    has the web address for
Matthias Reuss's PhD dissertation - related work in PubMed  22109398.
