The Only Confocal that Fully Adapts to the Sample

The pioneering new confocal microscope Leica TCS SP5 X with supercontinuum laser provides a new level of freedom in fluorescence microscopy. The new system adapts precisely to any existing or future fluorescent dye. With the new supercontinuum laser, researchers can now choose any excitation line within the continuous range of 470 to 670 nm. Optimal adjustment of the excitation line to the sample in 1 nm increments reduces cross-excitation and minimizes sample damage. The Leica TCS SP5 X allows multi-color excitation with up to eight excitation lines simultaneously.

All broadband capabilities of the Leica TCS SP5 AOBS are included in the new system. The patented Spectral Detection Technology of Leica Microsystems provides complete freedom in choosing any detection area in up to five truly spectral confocal PMT channels. The acousto-optical beamsplitter (AOBS®) perfectly matches with the supercontinuum laser, ensures highest sensitivity and provides a far better transmission than any dichroic mirror.
