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
