Leica TCS SP2 AOBS Multiphoton Confocal
|
Inverted microscope with eight laser + multi-photon excitations. Simultaneous signal collection with 3 PMT's. FLIM attachment. Scan resolution up to 2048 x 2048 pixels. Eight laser plus multi-photon excitations are available, producing the following wavelengths: 458, 476, 488, 496, 514, 561, 594, 633, and 710-990nm (from the MP laser). Quantitative confocal image analysis, 3D reconstruction, FRAP and FRET. A separate FLIM analysis system is also attached. Software includes 3D reconstruction with rendering, multi-color analysis, FRAP analysis, FRET analysis, animation, stereo imaging, single layer projection and quantitative analysis, time lapse collection, ratio quantification, and co-localisation analysis of 2 or 3 probes. |
