STELLARIS Confocal Microscope Platforms by Leica Microsystems

"Easy to use both the microscope and software. Same software used for multiphoton and live cell imaging system with normal fluorescent microscope. This makes your life easier. Service is very good. They are available whenever you need them. Highly recommend."

"Great images. Easy to use. Amazing post-sale service. High publication grade images. Training made available"

"This microscope is easy to use, the service after purchase is provided yearly, they offered a course after the installation to make better use of its application. It is a very versatile product, I greatly recommend it."

"SP8 confocal scanning laser microscope is a great tool for analyzing biological samples. Our system is equipped with a white laser and dedicated FLIM hardware."

"Great confocal microscope. Can image live cells and fixed cells. Great resolution and really easy to use."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"Fast measurement/scan less bleaching DIC measurement not compatible (prism failure)"
