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:
