Biological and medical research fluorescence
imaging has evolved from studying one or two
features in a specimen to examining even more
features and their dynamic interactions in the
cellular environment. This requires a variety of
fluorescent dyes to study four, five, or more proteins simultaneously. As new dyes are developed and used, the ability to optimally excite
and detect these fluorophores is necessary in
both living and fixed specimen.
Until now, research in multi-user facilities or
institutes has been limited by the type or number of dyes that could be excited. Conventional
laser scanning imaging systems are equipped
with a set of gas or solid state lasers that emit
fixed laser lines for use. Using this equipment
the researcher has to choose the dyes and
labels for detection according to the imaging
system. The experiment has to be compromized
to the available instrumentation.
Leica TCS SP5
X-citing Life!
The Leica TCS SP5 X supercontinuum confocal
unites the broadband capabilities of the Leica
TCS SP5 AOBS®and the freedom and flexibility
to select any excitation line within the continuous range of 470 to 670 nm.
With our patented spectral detection technology you have complete freedom to choose the
detection area in up to five confocal PMT channels. The acousto-optical beam splitter AOBS
is the only option for a supercontinuum laser,
and allows the selection of up to eight simultaneous lines from anywhere in the white light
spectrum.
