The Leica TCS SP8 STED provides confocal-based super-resolution imaging with more detail than ever with new gated STED. Combining STED and light-gating principles, the Leica TCS SP8 gated STED provides resolution down to 50 nm. STED provides instant results and is compatible with high-speed, resonant scanners for super-resolution imaging of dynamic specimens with common fluorescent proteins or dyes.
