description

Leica TCS SP2 is a laser scanning confocal microscope with electronically controlled and freely definable AOBS (Acousto - Optical Beam Splitter). This element replaces the conventional primary dichroic mirror in the scan head for reflecting excitation light and transmitting emitted fluorescent light. With the AOBS, a freely programmable and highly efficient single or multi-chroic beam splitter has been achieved. Highly sensitive detectors are optimized for different spectral bands.

Leica Confocal Software (LCS) complements the optics and electronics by providing a user-configurable interface, easy to use for the occasional user yet powerful to control the most advanced experiments. In addition to multi-dimensional control & analysis, advanced multi-color restoration and spectral un-mixing software allow the efficient elimination of residual crosstalk between spectrally over lapping dyes.

Leica TCS SP2 spectral confocal system provides a spectral scanning range from UV to IR. Investigators can use a large variety of fluorescent probes.

This system is equipped by microscope cage incubator in order to maintain 37° C cell col ture all around microscopy workstation.
