Scott Elderkin from Qioptiq is currently assembling an offer for interested parties to be able to purchase the T100 system. Please contact Scott at Scott.Elderkin@us.qioptiq.com if you are looking to purchase one.
Unfortunately, the Telecentric Zoom 100 system from Qioptiq is now discontinued as a standard product. However, we have been told that if we collect a list of 5-10 interested parties over the next 2-3 months that it may be possible for them to arrange a limited production run to meet this demand. Please let us know if you are interested in obtaining a Telecentric Zoom 100 system below.
Another option is to use their Zoom 70XL system with their 1.0x TV tube and 0.75x Auxiliary Lens. This system can be purchased with a focus motor built in, therefore you will not need the focusing translation stage, one actuator and a controller (Newport: 443, SMC100CC, LTA-HS). However, please note that this system is not telecentric and the software will require some modifications to accommodate this. The Zoom 70XL microscope was used in the previous Bioptonics system. We do believe the telecentric lens would minimize distortions, however, this is yet to be proven.
Hi,
You are receiving this message in response to a previous inquiry you made regarding our Optem T100 telecentric zoom, as cited in the PLOS ONE article Design and Implementation of a Custom Built Optical
Projection Tomography System.
We have decided to move forward with a limited build, contingent on getting commitments for a minimum of five systems.
The attached document (see post below) describes our request for expressions of interest, the expected pricing and my plan to poll for interested parties and administer the process.
James Denegre has graciously offered to post the request up on the mouse embryo phenotyping community wiki to insure broad distribution. Feel free to forward this request to any interested parties that you may be aware of.
Thanks for your patience as we analyzed the production logistics.
Best,
Scott
