I would go for the crystallization robot first. It gives you
quantitative (throughput) and qualitative (smaller drops) advantages and
with four labs and many "bodies" screening images on the microscope
isn't too bad (although you won't have a nice time-series of images).

Hello,
A non-ccp4 related poll question.
We have an option of buying either an Automated Crystal Imaging System or an
Automated Crystal Set-up Robot. Assuming the prices are about the same which
equipment would be more useful?
The instrument will be located in a common area and shared by four active
crystallographers (in an university) with 8-10 graduate students and 3-5
post-docs. Our crystallographer's work areas include regular protein,
RNA+protein complex, and virus crystallography. You can post your answers to
the bb or send it me. I will post the summary.
Thank you.
