Hi Alvaro, I’d be curious to hear how the TILT is. I was also was looking at the [iSIM](http://www.visitech.co.uk/vt-isim.html) instead of a spinning disk. It’s not really like a traditional SIM since there is no image reconstruction. It’s more like a swept field multipoint confocal that gets super resolution. It’s out of my budget at the moment but it certainly looks as good as a traditional spinning disk.

For now I’ve ordered an x-light V3 with the LDI from 89North, two Hamamatsu Fusion cameras, all the optics I need, a VisiView license, a second hand Zeiss Observer 7 body and a table for ~$200k. I’m hoping my system works as well as the demo unit I saw.
