Description

The Leica STELLARIS 5 is a true confocal point scanning system, including a White Light Laser as excitation light source, an Acousto Optical Beam Splitter (AOBS) and a highly sensitive, prism-based spectral detection design with computer controlled adjustable bandwidth for all fluorescence channels. The extended detection range up to 850 nm plus the excitation range in the visible from 440 nm up to 790 nm (different models available on request) allow the application and separation of an extended range of spectrally overlapping fluorophores.

Including TauSense, a set of tools based on fluorescence lifetime information, it provides an additional contrast, improved image quality and separation of spectrally overlapping fluorophores. LIGHTNING allows for optimal extraction of image details and maximum resolution, thus expanding the imaging portfolio both in the classical range and beyond the diffraction limit.
