We are about to buy a microscope with near DIC optics for patch-clamping in
hippocampal slices. I would like to ask my colleagues neurophysiologists to
share their pros and cons regarding the system they use and regarding
additional equipment . Our choice is between Nikon Physiostation, Olympus
51BX or Zeiss Axiovert. The last one is most expensive and I am wondering if
it is worth to pay higher price for Zeiss. Also, I would like to know your
recommendations regarding choice of objectives. Initially, I will be
recording from soma of dentate granule cell, but later I plan to record from
soma and dendrite at the same time.
Thank you in advance!
Zakaria
