The automated microscope system comprises a box in which at least one control and power supply unit is installed. An example electrical device includes a pulse-producing circuit and a tamper detection circuit. A floodlight is mounted on a movable support arm such that it can be selectively positioned around or above the cockpit and directed so as to project a beam of light onto the cockpit. Optionally, a same bracket is used for an entire orthodontic process. The bulkhead 10 is U-shaped defining a concavity that faces forward when the bulkhead 10 is latched in the forward position and rearwardly when the bulkhead 10 is latched in the rear position so as to maximize the cargo carrying capacity of the van 10. The predetermined order is chosen to encode a secret message.
