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. moreMar. 17, 2011
