• Leica TCS SP2
• Rapid non-destructive optical serial sectioning to 0.2µm resolution in all planes
• Five separate lasers with diffusion gate to specify exact frequencies
• Images stored digitally for further processing and allows for 3D reconstruction of sample

Confocal scanning laser microscopy is used to produce images of two and three dimensions of a translucent sample.The system is fully computer controlled; both positive, negative reflected and transmitted light images are stored for further processing.

The system requires minimal sample preparation which is mounted on a reverse microscope stage with magnifications of x2 to x100.
