Stellaris 8 Confocal Microscope Information

• Leica confocal with fast laser scanning, Las X navigator, and 5 utra-sensitive HyD detectors.

• Mutiplex imaging with tunable White Light Laser (WLL) and tunable detectors. Choose any number of laser lines, any wavelengths to 790nm. We typically use up to 6 fluorescence channels, potential for 8 or more.

• Lightning near super resolution deconvolution.

• TauSense easy to use fluorescence lifetime imaging : reduce background and detect different fluors based on their fluorescence lifetime.

• Temperature and CO2 control for live imaging.

• Objective lenses: 10X, 20X, 25X immersion 0.95NA, 40X Oil 1.4NA, 63x Oil 1.4NA.

• Located in room 828.
