   I’m surprised that this is not a much more commonplace practice in the space conscious labs in Europe. I’ve seen the two-tier setups with some launch optics on a second-level pillar-mounted breadboard more often, but it seems as if the vertical option might make components easier to reach for adjustment?

   I hope you don’t mind me mentioning, but Micro Control Instruments now supply good value breadboards to European labs. Check out http://www.mci-neuroscience.com/product/optical-breadboards/

   Does anyone know of a recent publication reviewing the latest developments of VF and other voltage sensitive dyes? And do current sCMOS cameras have the required characteristics to reliably record fast (1ms) events in neurons?
