seeking 410 and 470 excitation

I am sending the following query from a student here.  Please respond
directly to him.

Thanks,
Julie

I am a graduate student in cell biology at the University of Chicago,
working in the lab of Aaron Turkewitz with the ciliate Tetrahymena
thermophila.  I would like to use a pH-sensitive GFP to measure dense-core
secretory granules.  These measurements require a comparison of emission at
508 nm between exciting at 410 and 470 nm.  A FACS facility with the
capability to excite at these two wavelengths (or within 5 nm) would make
my data collection mush easier.  Unfortunately, the University of Chicago's
scanner uses lasers, with the closest wavelengths at 325 and 488 nm.  I am
looking for a Partec, or any other machine that uses a mercury arc lamp
with appropriate excitation filters.

Thank You--
