Great confocal microscope. Can image live cells and fixed cells. Great resolution and really easy to use.
Review Date: 4 Dec 2017 | Leica Microsystems Europe
Leica is a great value.
Basic research at a major University
I recommend Leica products because they are so easy to use, you get publishable images, and Leica service is outstanding. I have had middle schoolers to postdocs using the SP5 with any problems.

Excellent equipment for physiological and biophysical research
Analyze the tissue/cell injury under venom processing
Effectiveness is very high, but too expensive. It helps a lot in our research, but we still need some upgrades, which are not available for us, because such kind of purchase is very unique in our country.

Excellent instrument- keep up the good work Leica!
microbiological analyses
The ability of this Leica system to use a 'white laser' has been a major step up. It allows one to probe for inherent auto fluorescence at many excitations, which provide critical molecular information, especially regarding proteins. The sensitivity and resolution are getting better compared with older, comparable systems. I hope that sometime soon, Leica will be able to release a combined super-resolution/confocal system. This will be especially helpful in the area of nano-microbial research.

STELLARIS Confocal Microscope
Leica Microsystems’ family of confocal microscopes – STELLARIS 5 and STELLARIS 8 – takes confocal imaging to a new level. Now you can see more, discover more, and do more than ever before, with STELLARIS.
A new world of confocal applications with the next-generation white light lasers
As biological questions get more complex, there is an increasing need to study multiple events simultaneously in the same specimen. When preparing the specimen for imaging experiments, this need is translated in having to use multiple fluorescent labels. Unfortunately, the visualization of multiple events with confocal microscopy is limited by the number of fluorescent probes that can be simultaneously imaged without incurring bleed-through artifacts due to significant spectral overlap. Using a confocal microscope with an integrated White Light Laser (WLL) enables tuning excitation and detection to perfectly match the spectral profile of the dyes in your sample, giving you the flexibility to perform multicolor experiments while obtaining clear, sharp images.
In this application note find out how to:
- Achieve complete wavelength freedom thanks to the unique combination of high-efficiency pulsed WLL excitation, AOBS technology, and spectral detection.
- Get more flexibility when designing your experiment with an expanded WLL spectrum.
- Use fluorescence-lifetime-derived information delivered by TauSense and increase the number of fluorescent probes which can be resolved in a single sample.
Expanding the frontiers of confocal live cell imaging with STELLARIS
To address the specific challenges of live cell confocal imaging and help researchers get closer to the truth, Leica Microsystems has re-imagined confocal microscopy, designing its entirely new STELLARIS platform from the ground up. Here, explore how STELLARIS unlocks the full power and potential of live cell studies by overcoming many common limitations and fully integrating fluorescence lifetime-based information to add a new dimension to your research.
- Image longer without photodamage, and with enhanced sensitivity for the fluorophores you use most.
- Study dynamic events at exceptionally high frame rates—capturing up to 428 frames per second without compromising spatial resolution.
- Multiplex beyond spectral options, resolving overlapping fluorescence spectra, and adding the fluorescence lifetime dimension to your experiments.
TauSense: add an extra dimension to your confocal results with integrated fluorescence lifetime information
Leica Microsystems’ TauSense technology is a set of imaging tools based on fluorescence lifetime. Found at the core of the STELLARIS confocal platform, it will revolutionize your imaging experiments. Whatever your sample or staining procedure, fluorescence lifetime information is always there. Now TauSense gives you access to this additional information and expands the potential of your research with the possibilities provided by different TauSense modes.
In this application note, find out how you can use TauSense technology to:
- Explore a new dimension of information in every confocal experiment with instant access to functional information.
- Improve image quality by removing unwanted fluorescence signals that mask your data and prevent you from truly seeing your sample.
- Separate fluorescent species based on lifetime information, allowing you to distinguish fluorescent signals with similar spectra.
Combining Light Sheet and Confocal – The New Leica TCS SP8 DLS Module
In this technical note learn how the new Leica TCS SP8 DLS makes light sheet microscopy easier. The invention of the unique TwinFlect mirror, which deflects the illuminating light sheet at a 90° angle, allows the integration of the light sheet module into the vertical axis of every inverted Leica TCS SP8 without compromising confocal functionality.
