Cannot beat the price of a TriTek imager - CrystalPro. For the price this is
probably the optimum product.

Note - I am not associated with TriTek and in fact our lab uses Formulatrix
imagers, but these are much more expensive.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Cost-effective imaging systems: recommendations and
opinions requested

Dear CCP4 community,

I know this question has been posted before, but imaging systems are updated
so often that I'd like to post it again.

I am considering purchasing a crystal imaging system.

I am looking for a system that is

1) cost-effective

2) straightforward to use

3) suitable for a low-medium throughput (2-4 academic laboratories; with
primary use by graduate students)

4) nice clear crystals images

I am interested in all systems, but I'd be especially interested to know how
people feel about the ArtRobbins CrysCam, including its pros and cons and if
there are any other comparable systems available for a similar price. If you
have an imaging system you are especially fond of (or regret buying), any
information that you can provide about that system is very welcome as well,
as is any information about the associated software.

I'll compile and re-post all comments and opinions for everyone else who
might find this information useful.

Thanks very much in advance,

Rebecca
