Should I order all items on the Jenoptik quote?
No. Only order items 1-5. Note in addition that pupil relays 1 & 2 are identical (but you need 2), so it's only 4 distinct parts.
We decided to order items 6-8 from another vendor to save some $$.
After Jenoptik and Thorlabs Gantry, what is the longest lead-time item?
Cambridge Technologies scan mirrors. These can take 3 months, so order them as soon as you can.
Should I order everything on 2p-RAM Parts List (072616).xlsx?
No. Follow instructions.
There is a mismatch in the numbers in the quotes and in '2p_RAM Parts List (072616)'?
This is because we asked vendors to quote quantities of 5 & 10 in cases where discounts are possible.
Please order the number of units specified in 2p-RAM Parts List (072616).xlsx
Refer to the quotes supplied in the table.
What about the list '2p-RAM Accessory Optics Parts List'?
This pertains to the auxillary light path (not two-photon). It is a collection of parts, mostly off-the-shelf, that provide very useful functions.
These will allow optogenetics with laser scanning photostimulation, wide-field imaging, and alignment of the coverglass to be normal to the beam axis.
For the Schneeberger item, please reach out to Lance Cobb (lance.cobb@schneeberger.com) for a quote and pricing. The previously referenced quote HHMI-20-160321-0 is WRONG. The part needed is "NDN-2 30.20". The quote Schneeberger_JHHMI-20-150220-01.pdf can be referenced. It is correct.
