<DIV>Hi Pierre,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suspect you are looking for someone willing to build an OpenSPIM setup, but I wanted to point out that the ASI diSPIM is a dual-view light sheet microscope philosophically in the middle of the "build-it-yourself" (e.g. OpenSPIM) and "commercial turn-key" (e.g. Zeiss or Leica) approaches.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The diSPIM parts are modular so you can easily customize for your particular needs and add on later. There is a Micro-Manager plugin for acquisition and Fiji plugin for data analysis (commercial software with paid support is also available). You can buy direct from ASI or from multiple system integrators which can provide on-site support. <A href="http://dispim.org/">http://dispim.org/</A> has additional info including comparisons of SPIM/LSM systems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The specifics of your samples/experiments are also important on deciding which sort of LSM will be best.</DIV>
