The SP8 is a fully automated upright laser scanning confocal microscope that is capable of tunable emission spectral detection. It is equipped with a Galvano and a Resonant scanner that allows both high resolution and fast speed imaging. The system has a wide range of objectives ranging from 10x to 100x. The extra CLARITY optics (25x objective) enable unprecedented levels of in-depth optical sectioning of thick tissue.

Capabilities:

1. 2D and 3D imaging (with 3D reconstruction feature)
2. Live and fixed sample (No environmental control)
3. FRAP
4. Line scan
5. Tile scan /Large image stitching
6. Multi-position imaging

Lasers (nm): 405, 488, 514, 552, 638
