Subject: [HAPS-L] Microscopes

We are looking to purchase a microscope to replace our existing digital microscope.  These basically use a software (Motic Software) that projects histology slides via the computer and LCD projector on to a screen.  We can capture the images and save them on the computers.  We are not satisfied with the quality of the images which end up being very grainy.  I believe there was one model with a camera mounted on the microscope that was demonstrated at HAPS.  Does anyone remember seeing this and know what company made these? 



We are specifically looking for suggestions (and costs if possible) for the various kinds of microscopes that might be available. 



Additionally, we would appreciate comments about the various microscope manufacturers and affiliated software that have been proven in your labs.  



Any input would be helpful.



Thanks,

Nishi Mathew
