Dear Sergei,
We have recently had a Microstar installed from Bruker. It had some serious
teething problems and it took close to a year from the point of
installation in our building until it could be used for any data
collection. Many parts of the original machine delivered had to be replaced
especially parts concerning the detector.
It now seems reasonably reliable (fingers crossed) but given the
aggravation it has caused I would not consider one again.
Best wishes,
Vicky

Dear All,
following a good discussion recently on the crystallization
imaging systems, I wanted to start a discussion with respect
to choosing a new in-house X-ray source (rotating anode).
Bruker is there with Microstar-H and Microstar Ultra.
Rigaku has 007HF and FR-E+.
I wondered if people who have recently considered or bought
such systems could express their opinions with regard to few
points, including (1) true intensity, (2) reliability, (3) ease of service
such as alignment, filament chance, anode rebuild...
I will post a summary afterwards.
Many thanks in advance!
Sergei Strelkov
