Scanning confocal microscope LEICA SP8X with white laser

The white laser enables the selection of any wavelength of the excitation light with an accuracy of 1 nm in the range from 470 nm to 670 nm. Additionally, the microscope is equipped with an argon laser with five excitation lines (458, 476, 488, 496, 514 nm) and a 405 nm diode laser. As a result, the system can be fully adapted to the exact excitation parameters of the various fluorescent dyes. The unique AOBS system is responsible for separating the excitation light beam from that emitted in the microscope. This allows for free choice of the excitation and emission wavelentht matched to the sample. The system is equipped with an in vivo observation chamber, which enables long-term observations of fluorescence in living cells. It enables imaging in bright field, phase contrast, transient light and fluorescence. There is possibility to analyze the intensity of fluorescence, co-localization, FRET and FRAP. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/confocal-microscopes/details…
