Leica: TCS SP2 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Leica: TCS SP2 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (RRID:SCR_020231) | instrument resource | Leica TCS SP2 is a spectral confocal laser scanning microscope with 405 UV laser 3CHDIC digital emission 400-800nm range designed to acquire high spatial resolution images of fluorescently labeled materials and for analysis of these images. The confocal principle utilizes a pinhole (confocal aperture) to eliminate out-of-focus light from fluorescently labeled specimens (i.e., provide “optical sectioning�). Lasers provide intense, point illumination that is scanned over the preparation and the fluorescence at each point is quantified and used to construct a representation of the object brightness (an image). This method provides high resolution for the x and y planes as well as vertically (z plane). The SP2 is an advanced confocal system with nine laser excitation lines spanning the spectrum from UV to near IR. The following laser lines are available: 405nm, 458, 476, 488, 496, 514, 543, 594, and 633, all fiber coupled and controlled by AOTFs. | Leica, Confocal Microscope, Instrument Equipment, USEDit | Commercially available | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SciCrunch/RRID-Instruments/main/PDF/SCR_020231.pdf | Model_Number_TCS SP2 AOBS | SCR_020231 | 2026-07-25 12:09:24 | 4 | |||||||||

Perkin Elmer: UltraView ERS (RRID:SCR_020405) | instrument resource | PerkinElmer UltraVIEW system (PerkinElmer Life Sciences Inc., MA, USA) is a Yokogawa (Yokogawa Corp. Japan) Nipkow Spinning Disk Confocal System. It uses a spinning disk with multiple pinholes to achieve confocality (e.g. the rejection of out-of-focus light). Emission light from the sample passes through the pinholes to generate a confocal image of the sample that can be detected with an EMCCD (Electron Multiplification Charge-Coupled Device) camera. Spinning disk confocal systems have 2 main advantages over conventional Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopes (LSCM): Higher imaging speed: up to 360frames/sec compared to 0.5-1 frames per second in a LSC and Lower photo-toxicity: around 5 times less than a LSCM, probably due to the fact that the system splits the laser light into thousands of minibeams. | Perkin Elmer, Confocal Spinning Disk Microscope, Instrument Equipment, USEDit | Commercially available | SCR_020405 | 2026-07-25 12:09:26 | 5 | |||||||||||
