No need to buy a FV-system anymore. Also interesting is that they have a 4mm WD version optimized for Scale and are bringing out a 8mm WD Scale version soon. With a slight drop in PSF quality, these objectives should also be usable as water dipping ... that might make pipette access sweet and easy. I couldn't get any info on the NA of the Scale versions.

Are they pretty similar in terms of image quality, IR transmission, correction for aberrations, etc? It's hard to get real data/specs on this!

As of June 2011 they still only sell with their 2P microscope. That will change as Nikon offer a 1.1 NA without restriction, apart from the price!
