Leica SP8 X Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope
In December 2018 we acquired a Leica SP8 X Confocal with a white light laser (470 – 670 nm), UV laser, argon laser, five detectors, LIGHTNING deconvolution, FLIM, FRET, and Phasor, plus sophisticated 3D reconstruction and presentation, on an upright DM6 microscope with a high-speed DFC9000 GTC digital camera.
