I understand that the technology for black and white images is quite good and that the technology for color is improving. A few specific questions - is the acquisition time sufficiently short to get multiple shots of live worms (especially for color)? Is the resolution satisfactory (especially for color)? Is the software manageable? What brand and model is your set-up? Do you like the product? the technical support? How much was your set-up? How do you process your images (Photoshop? other?)? Any comments will be appreciated - please respond directly to me and I will post a summary. Many thanks, Jane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ E.
