Re: New microscope for DIC brightfield and darkfield imaging

We have tried all the vendors and stressed them on the technical side.
There are some technical differences, but for our use they will not be
the major part. However, having experienced all sorts of trouble on
one of our earlier purchases (Leica DM RXA2, great optics, horrible
interface, buggy control software) it is nice to have feedback from
actual users that I don't know personally. I know Olympus very well,
but I have no prior experience with the Zeiss Axio Imager. Also I have
only spent one full day in front of it. I have spent weeks in front of
Olympus and Leica.

Are you serious in trying to make a purchasing decision based on what you

to stress the sales rep of each of the big four and have them demonstrate
their best solution. Then, and only then, I will decide where to invest the
money. You can take all that has been said just as side information. You
must use the systems in question to decide. There is no final round without
trying.

Well, then the contrarian view would seem to say that this newsgroup
is useless.

I don't think this is completely true. Your point should be more to
the issue of taking in outside data points and comparing them to
personal experience with specific systems. The principle is to seek
overall advice about many options and develop criteria for evaluating
the options.

I can go for that.
