The system was I believe designed after a leica system, but is
marketed by B-D. I looked closely at the system and it has most if
mnot all of the features you require. It is quite an exceptional
instrument. Hopefully one of the B-D people will pick up on this and
send you the info.

On an unrelated but important topic - our concerns and thoughts are
certainly with our colleages in Oklahoma City after last weeks
tragedy. Hope things are ok with you and your lab Becky.

Best Regards
Paul
