We bought our systeme about 5 years ago, so part of the information is
perhaps not up to date. After quite careful consideration and
comparisons, we got:
- Nikon Labophot-2 microscope (bright-field, dark-field)
- Sony XC77-CE b/w CCD camera (could not afford the DAGE MTI C72)
- Signal Analytics' IPLab program for the Mac with some extra
modules. This came with a
- Scion LG-3 card, which we equipped with 16 Mb extra memory. NIH Image
for this card came without extra cost.
We have no regrets, and use the system mainly for in situ hybridization
analysis.
