Jurgen,
From your question I assume that you are having problems with the
warming up of the crystal tray due to the microscope light.
Did you consider the use of an external cold light source like the
KL1500 LCD?
I do not feel anything warming up.
Which microscope are you using?
The LED systems I have tried are not bright enough.
Try them before you buy.
Suggestion - request a demo to your supplier.
Cheers,
Joao

Hi there,
*warning, reading beyond this line might expose you to non CCP4

anybody out there who could do the following experiment:
Turn on your microscope and measure the temperature after 30
minutes where you would place your precious crystal tray.
In particular I'm interested in LED versus Halogen driven models.
Is there anybody out there who would like to comment on LED driven
microscopes for our purposes ?
Thanks,
Jürgen
