This confocal microscope adapts to the
sample
The pioneering Leica TCS SP5 X with supercontinuum laser provides freedom and flexibility which were unattainable until now in fluorescence microscopy and allows true optimisation of results
The supercontinuum laser is, says Leica, a groundbreaking innovation which now allows the researcher to choose any excitation line within the continuous range of 470 to 670nm The Leica TCS SP5 X precisely adapts to any existing or future fluorescent dye
