Leica TCS SP8 confocal/multiphoton microscope
Model: Leica SP8
Function: Leica TCS SP8 Resonant-scanning confocal/multiphoton microscope is configured for both multiphoton and confocal imaging on an upright stand. Confocal fluorescence excitation at 405, 448, 488, 552 and 633 nm with multiphoton fluorescence excitation provided by a Spectra-Physics MaiTai DeepSee titanium-sapphire laser, providing tunable illuminations from 690 to 1040nm. The system is configured with 4 internal (descanned) PMTs and 4 external (non-descanned) detectors – 2 PMTs and 2 HyD hybrid detectors. The SP8 MP includes both standard galvanometric scanning for imaging at up to 1800 Hz and resonant scanning for imaging up to 8000 Hz, supporting full frame imaging at up to 30 fps. The automated stage supports automatic time lapse studies of multiple fields and tile acquisitions.
