Leica SP8 Manual

Leica SP8 Upright confocal microscope
• System description:
• DMi6, Upright microscope: BF, Fluorescence (blue, green, red)
• BF TL Detector (transmitted light image)
• Scanning stage with z-Galvo and Navigator (overviews, selection of regions of
interest...)
• Scanner with Scan-field Rotation
• 2 PMT detectors (photo multipliers)
• 1 Hybrid Detector normal (more sensitive than PMT and no detector noise nor
background)
• 1 Hybrid Detector SMD (fast, for FLIM, FALCON)
• Laser lines: 405, White Light Laser (470-670nm, up to 8 laser lines simultaneously)
• FALCON (FAst Lifetme CONtrast) including Pulse Picker for WLL
• LIGHTNING (Deconvolution) for Superresolution and super sensitive imaging
• Phasor plot for direct examination of lifetime data

• System Start Up
Turn on heating Unit if needed
• Switch on 'PC-microscope' button (1). This gives power to the computer and
microscope controller
• Switch on 'scanner power' (2)- This enables the scanning head
• Switch on 'Laser power' (3)
• Turn the 'Laser ignition key' (4) in position 'on'- enables Laser shutters (-> Only an
interlock)
• Switch on fluorescent lamp(5) for visual examination
• TL/LED manual switch is at the back of the mic (if you don't see the TL light in the
eyepiece, it might be the switch)
