    W B Amos
    MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
    Biol Cell 95:335-42. 2003
    ..Lessons are pointed out from the unusual nature of the original funding and research environment. Attention is drawn to the slow adoption of the instrument in diagnostic medicine, despite promising applications...
