The Leica TCS SP is a high resolution spectral confocal for the daily research and routine examination. The highly integrated system is optimized for target applications in research laboratories and pharma-biotechnology. The newest technology is implemented in the Leica TCS SP and this system is the only confocal in its class providing true spectral detection. The system is equipped with 1 ps Ti:Sapphire laser for two photon excitation, which is especially suitable for live-cell work. The TCS SP is very easy to use and first results are quickly achieved, even by confocal newcomers. Its robust, durable hardware with long-life components and the new Leica software platform ensure smooth and fast operation.
