New Leica sp8 confocal Microscope

The life sciences IDRFU (ZABAM) has installed a new Leica sp8 confocal Microscope., located at room no. 09 in Britannia Bldg.

 The main features of our Leica SP8 microscope:

•        Inverted configuration
•        Dry x5,x10,x20 objectives; x40 water and x63 oil objectives
•        LED fluo excitation source for visual examination
•        The system is equipped with the following  excitation solid state lasers:

405 nm 50 mW directly modulated intensity;

488 nm 20 mW;

514 nm 20 mW;

552 nm 20 mW;

638 nm 30 mW

•        Prism spectrometer for detection of fluorescence in the range 400 nm - 800 nm. Freely tunable emission band with precision of 1nm.
•        Two high sensitivity low noise HyD hybrid fluorescence detectors with possibility of photon counting mode.
•        One fluorescence and one transmitted light PMT detectors.
•         Fully motorized XY stage suitable for slides, Petri dishes and plates.
•        High precision galvo Z-drive.
•        LAS X Lightning, FRET and FRAP program modules with hardware FRAP booster.
