I am looking to purchase a new spinning disk system to replace our aging CV7000. Does anyone have a favorite system to work with 384-well formats?

Thanks

Hi Elad  
We like the Crest optics spinning disk on a Nikon Ti2. Very large FOV and works with any sample format. 🙂  
Hope that helps

I also recommend the CrestOptics X-Light V3. I installed this one for our customer last year.

Thanks. My question to Crest was whether this would work with a 384-well plate. Still awaiting reply…

Hi Elad, we can help you out (3i) – we’ve been designing/integrating spinning disk systems for 20+ years. Different options scope and SDC wise and our software does indeed support 384-well plates. [Marianas - 3i](http://www.intelligent-imaging.com/marianas) for the information you’re looking for. Happy to make a connection to our team if you email me directly via [my-first-name]{at} [intelligent-imaging.com](http://intelligent-imaging.com) or connect to sales via our website, of course.
