What it is:
The Leica TCS SP8 confocal and STED 3X is a high end confocal microscope with STED imaging capabilities.
Manufacturer: Leica Microsystems
Model Name: Leica TCS SP8 Confocal and STED 3x
Applications: Confocal laser microscope, spectral imaging, fast X,Y,Z scanning Super-resolution STED imaging
Instrument Overview: The integrated STED system meets the requirements of daily scientific research and provides fast, intuitive, and pure optical access to structural details beyond the diffraction limit. STED 3X broadens the scope of super-resolution microscopy by using the spectrum range of visible light. It can reach lateral (XY) resolution of ~50 nm and axial (Z) resolution of ~150nm. Gated detection improves resolution. White Light Laser (470-670 nm) allows any kind of fluorophore combination and multicolor application.
