Here are some numbers
Matthew.Franklin:
Okay.
Start: 71.9 F
Finish: 73.1 F
Temperature measured with thermocouple Scotch-taped to the center of
the
microscope stage, underneath an empty 96-well plate. Room
thermostat set
to 70.
I should have mentioned that I was thinking about fiberoptics and not
the halogen light directly under the tray.
Still I always had the impression that there's a significant
temperature difference when using the fiberoptics for a long time e.g
when mounting crystals.
The microscope in question is a Zeiss and the $ difference between LED
& halogen is about 2.5K in favour of the LED system.
I have seen the LED version and it seemed good to me - but I have not
looked at crystal trays of course.
I'll post a summary in a few days.
Thanks for all your replies so far,
Jürgen
