Filter free spectral detector: a spectrophotometer for each detector channel enables the user to design filters, maximize sensitivity, minimize crosstalk and record emission spectra as required, AOBS (acousto-optic beam splittier) for dynamic beam splitting.
Microscope: Upright Leica DM 6000B microscope, fully automated, equipped with DIC, bright field and polarisation optics.
4 detection channels for fluorescence, 1 detection channel for transmitted light, 2 NDD detection channels and one FLIM detection channel (up to 5 channels simultaneously).
Leica Application Suite Advanced Fluorescence (LAS AF) software (version 1.6.0) for 2D and 3D imaging, Region of Interest (ROI) scanning, and time-lapse imaging, FRAP and FRET applications.
Software for Fluorescent Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM): SPCM and SPCImage, ver. 2.8, Becker & Hickl.
Two computer workstations: one HP workstation xw8200 for confocal software operation, a second computer for FLIM application, both equipped with a DVD writer.
