Leica Confocal Microscope


Our Leica Confocal Laser Scanning System offers both inverted and standard configuration microscopes, both of which are outfitted with identical optics (10X and 20X air objectives, and 40X, 63X and 100X oil-immersion objectives) and fluorescence filter cubes. This system can image one transmitted and three fluorescence channels simultaneously or sequentially. Fluorochromes are excited by three lasers: Ar (457, 476, 488, 514 nm), a green HeNe (543 nm), and a red HeNe (633 nm). A Galvo-z stage is used for capture of high resolution z-series. The system is driven by Leica Confocal Software on a PC workstation. FRAP, FLIP, time-lapse imaging, and lambda scanning are possible on this system as well.
