I’d suggest looking at scope/ CCD camera packages from Amscope, way cheaper and quite good quality

Subject: [DICTY] microscope for time-lapse imaging of Dictyostelium development

Hello all,
I’d like to purchase a microscope for imaging developing Dictyostelium. I’ve got quotes from Olympus and Nikon, but before I make a decision, I thought I would find out more about the microscope systems other people are using. Ideally. I’d like to be able to capture time-lapse images throughout all of development.
Thanks so much in advance,
Cynthia
