I have been told to send it in to get it repaired but I wonder if it is worth the time and money if you are getting it back in basically the same condition! I know the Leica is pretty good but I am in research and can't spend that kind of money. I wish there was a system that was good and not extremely expensive.

Some days I feel like spend most of my time re-writing and labeling printed slides. Then when the units  are  sent out for repair and it arrives back it is not a whole lot better.  Before we get our new LIS system and our Docs will be scanning the bar code(that sometimes do not print) I need to find a better system.  I will not be able to deal with how often my name will be called out when the scanning of the slides fail.
