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.

The new nano piezo-Z stages from Physik Instrumente are optimized for very fast step and settle and easy integration into high-resolution microscope applications. They feature a very low profile a large aperture, and travel ranges of up to 200 µm with sub-nanometer closed-loop resolution-ideal for leading-edge microscopy and imaging applications. The piezo stages are designed for inverted microscopes from the four major manufacturers: Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss and Leica. The low profile design of 20 mm (0.8") facilitates the integration.

High Content Screening is a growing discipline in Life Science Research. Leica Microsystems has therefore launched the HCS A High Content Screening Automation package for confocal research microscopes. Combining the strengths of high-resolution confocal point scanners with the LAS AF Matrix M3 software platform delivers a highly flexible tool for processing large amounts of data and automated imaging in multi dimensions at high speed. The HCS A enables researchers to customize confocal microscopes according to current requirements and challenging life science experiments.

The Dual-Core 3D Measuring Microscope Leica DCM 3D combines confocal microscopy, interferometry and color imaging in one sensor head. Designed for R&D and quality labs or automatic online process control, the system offers fast and contact-free analysis of the micro- and nanogeometry of material surfaces to an accuracy of 0.1 nm. A confocal microdisplay, two light sources and two CCD cameras produce unlimited field depth and highly precise 3D results. As it requires no mechanically moving parts, the DCM 3D is practically maintenance-free.

The Leica TCS STED CW is the most uncomplex way to nanoscopy for research. The system resolves structures smaller than 80 nm - with purely optical methods. The depletion lasers and emission lasers in the visible spectral range enable researchers to use conventional dyes such as Alexa 488, FITC and Oregon Green and beyond that established fluorescence proteins such as YFP. Dynamics of sub-cellular processes can be imaged due to this flexibility and the system's ability of fast data acquisition. This means: live cell imaging below the diffraction limit.
