[Histonet] Purchasing a Cryostat

[Merced M Leiker]

Thanks so much for everyone who's replied so far (wow, a lot of responses, 
including from 2 reps)...I just talked with my boss... budget concerns may 
restrict us to a refurbished cryostat...

Can anyone recommend a good refurbisher, and perhaps of Leica units? (the 
U.S. responses thus far were overwhelmingly in favor of Leica)

Thanks again!

Regards,
Merced
