The Leica Stellaris 5 confocal microscope is a 4 lasers spectral imaging, simultaneous multicolor, confocal system.

The system holds 4 of the most novel powerful and sensitive HyD detectors. The Power HyD detector family provides higher photon detection efficiency (PDE)* extremely low dark noise, and sensitive spectral detection from 410 to 850 nm.

New to the Stellaris - The lightning configuration that maximizes the information you extract from your specimen and get in-depth answers to scientific questions.

Activate LIGHTNING with just one click and

  • reveal the most information from your images and resolve nanoscale structures down to 120 nm
  • obtain truly simultaneous multicolor imaging in super-resolution
  • study the details of your live specimens thanks to fast acquisition rates and low phototoxicity

Also, the System is equipped with a complete environment chamber and also with a resonant scanner. With a Resonant scanner this microscope can scan images at high speed, comparable to that of a spinning disc confocal.
