Life sciences are continually advancing, and it may be difficult to know which direction your research will take in the future. This is why the Leica TCS SP8 builds on a flexible concept. No matter where you start, you can configure more functionality as your needs evolve. Your investment in a Leica TCS SP8 will pay off - now and in the future.

The design of a confocal microscope requires excellent separation of excitation and emission light, high scan speed, and flexibility. Each photon emitted by the sample is precious and needs to be preserved. Almost all components in the optical path have an impact on the preservation of photons emitted from the sample. The best photon transmission is achieved by matching each optical component with the entire system. This central concept is integral to the design of confocal instruments by Leica Microsystems.

As new scientific approaches unfold, so too do the instrumentation requirements to support them. With the Leica TCS SP8 you will be prepared for the new directions your research will take in the future. Leica Microsystems always ensures the path is open for the future, to help your confocal grow with changes in your experiments.

Backed by an all-new user interface for intuitive and tight control of every imaging parameter, the Leica TCS SP8 is versatile and adaptable to suit both small laboratories and large shared facilities alike.

Leica TCS SP8 has been designed for confocal microscopy with optimal photon efficiency and high speed. All optical components are matched towards preserving fluorescence photons for image contrast and to improve cell viability in live cell imaging. Backing up this sensitive detection are a high-speed scanning system with up to 428 frames per second, large field of view of field number 22 and accelerated Z-stacking by a novel mode for the Super Z galvanometer called Galvo flow. This suits the instrument for the most demanding samples, highest speed while offering full confocal resolution.

The Leica TCS SP8 delivers publication ready images out of the box along with comprehensive upgrade options.
