We offer a fully operational TCS SP2 AOB confocal microscope from Leica Microsystems, previously used at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research.
This system is built around an upright microscope platform (DMRE) and provides robust, high-quality confocal imaging capabilities suitable for a wide range of research applications.
Equipped with three lasers (diode, Argon, and HeNe), the system supports multiple excitation lines (405, 458, 476, 488, 496, 514, 561, 633 nm), enabling flexible multi-channel fluorescence imaging.
Key features include:
- 3 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for sensitive signal detection
- Additional transmitted light PMT channel
- Reliable system control via LCS software (version 2.61)
- Operation on Windows XP Professional environment
- Proven performance in advanced biological and materials research
Originally acquired in November 2004, the microscope remains in good working condition, offering a cost-effective entry into confocal imaging.
With an original purchase price of €253.000, this system represents an excellent opportunity for laboratories seeking established confocal technology at a significantly reduced investment.
