CFCI-MP 01 Leica SP8 MP (Leica)

The Leica SP8 MP/OPO is designed and optimized for intravital microscopy of small animals (mostly mice, but rat and zebrafish would also be possible). The tunable IR-laser (Chameleon Vision II Compact OPO) permits fluorophore multiphoton excitations in the NIR range from 680nm up to 1280nm providing deep tissue/organ imaging in living animals. Our microscope room is furthermore equipped a surgery area and a complete anesthesia unit to enable onsite surgery together with imaging.
