**************
When we were in the market, we checked out a bunch and decided on the
TECAN microplate reader, the Spectra SHell because of 1) upgradeability
(one can add UV and/or Temp control in future) and 2) price (about
$6000). We weren't terribly impressed with the ability to read difrerent
plate sizes, although that is a cute addition.
