Re: MS: nanospray for the LCQ

Dear Allis

I have the Protana source and cameras on my LCQ Classic and they work fine.
I have nothing negative to say beyond the clunky and primitive way the
cameras are held, but once aligned they are OK. I believe ThermoQuest are
producing their own source and cameras which may be more efficiently
arranged, but I shall stick with what I have. Terry Lee has posted a
do-it-yourself kit for the source on the web at
http://www.cityofhope.org/microseq/download.html which is a cheap way to go
if you have a decent workshop.
