Description: Leica’s SP-8X is both a spectral imaging confocal microscope and a lightsheet microscope. Excitation illumination is provided by an Argon and a supercontinuum white light laser. The available resonance scanner scans at 8000 lines/sec (~15fps at 512×512 pixels/frame). The SP-8X is equipped with three HyD detectors and two PMTs for fluorescence imaging and one for transmitted light. The HyD detectors are GaAsP enhanced Avalanche Photodiodes  which provide high sensitivity with exceptional signal to noise.

Ibidi stage top incubation is available.

The SP-8X also has a Digital Light Sheet module for 3&4D imaging of live specimens.
