Leica TCS-SP5 AOBS Confocal Microscope
Main Use: Standard and fast scanning confocal microscopy through the visible spectrum
The Leica TCS SP5 Confocal fully covers a broad range of requirements in confocal and multiphoton imaging with excellent overall performance. The system provides the full range of scan speeds at the highest resolution.
With its proven, high-efficiency SP detection (five channels simultaneously) and AOBS (Acousto Optical Bream Splitter), the Leica TCS SP5 delivers bright, noise-free images with minimal photo damage at high speed.
