Quantify Life!

Leica Microsystems has launched a new platform for biophysical measurements. The Leica TCS SMD Series is based on a Leica TCS SP5 true confocal spectral microscope with specific SMD (Single Molecule Detection) hardware and data acquisition and analysis software (SymPhoTime, by PicoQuant).
