The Road to Super-Sensitivity - Leica HyD for Confocal
 |
With the new Leica HyD, Leica Microsystems provides hybrid detection technology that combines the most favourable aspects of GaAsP photo-multipliers and avalanche diodes. This principle ideally lends itself to large dynamic range applications as well as single photon counting alike - with reduced photobleaching for cell viability. Combine it today with a resonant scanner for fast biology - on any TCS SP5.
Hybrid technology - the best of both worlds
Half PMT, half APD our hybrid detectors with a GaAsP photocathode offer superior sensitivity and a large dynamic range for efficient observation of dim structures.
Improved cell viability
Increased sensitivity translates into reduced light dosage delivered to the sample. No need to worry about photobleaching or phototoxicity in living cell experiments.
Filter-free super-sensitivity
The HyD modules seamlessly integrate into Leica Microsystems' spectral detection design, resulting in full flexibility with the AOBS - the only true filter-free detection concept.
Fastest super-sensitive point scanner
Our pioneering rapid point scanning technology sports a unique frame rate of 29 fps at 512x512 with the widest field of view available. Combine parallax-free rapid scanning with low noise hybrid detection.
Dynamic range from single photon to whole organism
HyD detection offers a dynamic range from single photon counting to whole organism imaging. Unlike array-based spectral detection designs the Leica SP detection allows for customized ballance beween highest sensitivity and highest dymamic range.
Open upgrade path
Start with up to four HyD modules or expand your existing Leica TCS SP5 system. Invest into tomorrow's technology today.
