Leica SP8 Inverted gSTED |
|
       Overview:
- Sensitivity: ★★★★★
- Speed: ★★☆☆☆ (galvano), ★★★★☆ (resonant)
- Detection channels: 2 HyD, 2 PMT, 1 Transmitted Light
- Recommendation: Use if your sample requires high sensitivity, has non-standard excitation/emission parameters, and does not require high speed. Gating is also available if your sample has autofluorescence issues.
       Detailed Features:
- Diode Laser 405nm
- Pulsed White Light Laser ranging from 470-670nm: Useful for live imaging, less harsh on samples. Gating function available to isolate small molecule fluorescence from protein fluorescence
- Argon Laser: 458, 476, 488, 496, 514nm
- STED laser: 592nm for Super-Resolution Imaging of up to 40nm
- Multidimensional imaging (XYZT)
- High Precision Galvo Z stage for Automated Imaging and stitching of large area of datasets
- Simultaneous Spectral Imaging
- Hardware Autofocus
- 2 Hybrid Detectors (HyD) for sensitive imaging, 2 PMT detectors and 1 Transmitted Light Detector
- Resonant Scanner: Fast Live Imaging of up to 2k x 2k
- LASX Software equipped with Navigator; Focus Mapping and Lightning (A patented Deconvolution software)
- Other Imaging techniques: FRAP, FRET, Photostimulation, and Spectral Imaging
- Excellent for Live imaging, Subcellular Protein or gene Localisation and super-resolution imaging
Location: #02-27
