Leica Confocal Fluorescence Microscope
Equipment overview
The Leica Confocal Fluorescence Microscope DMI8, STELLARIS 5 equipped with a white light laser is an advanced, high-performance optical imaging platform delivering durable, reliable performance for research laboratories performing high-speed live-cell imaging, multi-color fluorescence detection, and quantitative confocal fluorescence microscopy. Coupled with advanced spectral detection and cutting-edge White Light Laser (WLL) technology, it provides robust optical sectioning and sensitive detection for confident structural visualization and functional analysis.
Major applications
The advanced imaging system is ideally suited for live-cell dynamic studies, multi-channel fluorescence co-localization, high-resolution 3D tissue imaging, developmental biology, neurobiology, phototoxicity-sensitive live imaging, and quantitative fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis.
