Hello, all. I'm new to this board, and am starting my own lab next
year. I'm curious about what it would take, in terms of cost, to get a
scope outfitted with structured illumination (like the Zeiss Apotome).
The bulk of my imaging needs are low-mag (10,20X), widefield
epifluorescence. Just wondering if any of you have some advice, or
have tried it out yourself. Thanks, in advance.


Dude, the Apotome is a wonder and a marvel and quite expensive. All Zeiss
is quite expensive but this is really quite expensive. You might find it of
little use at relatively low power but I would ask for a demo and see what
it does for you. Take a look at a good DIC system if your using unstained
specimens.

For your use have you thought about a high end stereo like the Olympus SX16
stereo. There are fluorescence accesories for that 'scope or the AR1000
from Nikon. Just a thought.

Thanks,
