What is the smallest air table that can be used with the 2p-RAM?

All tables must be at least 4 ft wide to accommodate the 2p-RAM cage.

4'x9': This is the size of the table used for the 2p-RAM workshop.  It provides a comfortable amount of room.  In addition to a Chameleon or Mai-Tai-type Ti:Sapph laser and the prism-based pulse pre-chirp, a Fidelity fiber laser and also a few, small lasers for fiber-coupled photostimulation can fit onto it without much effort.

4'x8': This is still pretty comfortable, as long as the Fidelity laser isn't needed.  Smaller lasers can definitely go inside the 2p-RAM cage.  It's probably possible to add the Fidelity inside the cage as well, but there might be an issue with its height.

4'x7': It would be tough to fit the Ti:sapph laser and prism-based pulse pre-chirp.  The Ti:Sapph probably needs to go outside the cage due to it's size, so the pre-chirp would have to go inside (might require some modifications), or it would have to go vertical somehow.

4'x6': This is just enough room to put the 2p-RAM cage on.

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.
