The excel spreadsheet contains several sections related to the 2-photon microscope (all accessory stuff, such as wide-field imaging, optogenetics, et) is under accessory partslist, below.
Core instrument.
You should have ordered items 2-6 (long lead-time itmes from Thorlabs and Jenoptik).
Now order all other items (lines 7-120) EXCEPT line item 66 (Equipment Solutions; this refers to a critical part of the z-focusing mechanisms and we are trying to converge on an even faster design).
Order quantities as indicated in the spreadsheet (sometimes these diverge from the quantities indicated in the quotes)
To get discounts these items should be ordered by the end of April. Please try to get the orders in as soon as you can.
Refer to these quotes (please let us know if something does not seem right!

JRC supplied parts. This are parts are manufactured at Janelia. You will be billed for them.
User supplied parts. Get what you don't already have. You will need Pockels cells, shutters, some table topics, diagnostic hardware. You need to power the PMTs and also signal condition properly. We provided some commercial and home-built solutions.
Also, it will be hard to run the scope without the ScanImage 2016 bundle. Contact Bruce Kimmel <bruce@vidriotech.com> about ScanImage.
Standard hardware. This refers to standard mounting hardware (screws, nuts etc; the list is non-exhaustive).
This partslist includes useful items for wide-field imaging, laser scanning photostimulation (optogenetics), and features to align the imaging window to the microscope beam axis.
More information here.
Unless you have your own solutions in mind you will likely want to get the wide-field imaging and alignment stuff.
