The Leica SP8 is an inverted laser scanning confocal system configured for multiplexed imaging. The SP8 comes equipped with an AOBS tunable detection pathway (2 PMTs and 2 HyD), and a white light laser (470nm-670nm). The HyD detectors offer a "true black" background and are able to gate on fluorescence lifetime (allowing for the in-line reduction of autofluorescence).
The system also contains spectral scanning, three-dimensional (z) acquisition and time-lapse capabilities. A programmable stage allows automated return-to-site and multiple-field stitching. Software includes the Navigator module.
