Dear all, The Olympus FV1000 system is not stable and can hardly be used for the moment. You can try, but after a while, the olympus software and PC stop communicating. I have contacted the people from Olympus and they will re-install the original PC while awaiting the new PC. I will let you know when the system is operational again. Sorry for the inconvenience, daniel -- ================================================================== Daniel Van Damme Tel:+32 (0)9 331 39 33 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM dadam@psb.vib-ugent.be http://www.psb.vib-ugent.be ==================================================================
