Comments:
- Pete Clinch: They are a company that has been around in one form or another for the last 5 years or so. It was formed to capitalize on technology developed at Carnegie-Mellon's Center for Fluorescence Studies. The package they sell is a turnkey system that comes with a computer. The main product is the software, however, and includes such niceties as removal of out-of-focal-plane light to de-blur images and 3-D reconstruction of a spatial series of images. Their software is at least $10,000 for the basic package, and it can be much more than that depending on how many of their add-ons you buy.
- Kevin Ryan: Biological Detection Systems has sold their instrument technology to Oncor, Inc.. The sales and service is still handled from the same office, but will be moving shortly. The phone number is 301-990-0100, fax the same as before.
- Kevin Ryan: As an update to your Web page on Reconstruction; I wanted to correct some information about Oncor. Your reference is to Biological Detection Systems/Oncor, which is no longer correct - BDS exists as a separate entity, selling mainly fluorescent dyes, and it is legally inappropriate for Oncor to be referred to as BDS. The company is Oncor Imaging, the reconstruction product is "Oncor Image"
