Leica TCS SP
The Leica functions as a 3-colour, UV and visible confocal microscope in one system, utilizing fiber coupled UV, VIS and IR lasers (allowing rapid switching between laser-firing). There is even a “Design-a-filter” application for ultimate flexibility, or new dyes and difficult dye combinations, and allows easy wavelength selection from pre-programmed spectra of all popular dyes.
The excitation wavelengths commonly used are:
| Wavelength (nm | 543 | 488 | 366 | 458 | 190-370 |
| Dye | TRITC | FITC | Cy5 | GFP | DAPI |
Users are charged for using this system – and must be trained prior to conducting any experiments!
