• 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.
• Leica digital camera: DFC350FX, black and white.
• Lenses: 20x (Multi-Immersion), 40x (Oil), 63x (Glycerol), 63x (Water).
• Fluorescence filters: A (UV), I3 (blue), N2.1 (green)
• Laser system:
  Radius: 405 nm
  Ar (50 mW): 458 nm, 476 nm, 488 nm, 496 nm, 514 nm
  GreenHeNe (1.2 mW): 543 nm

  RedHeNe (10 mW): 633 nm
  Coherent Chameleon Ultra (80MHz): 690-1040 nm, tunable
• 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.
