At Weill Cornell Medicine’s Microscopy and Image Analysis Core, the Leica Stellaris 8 expands what’s possible in confocal imaging.
Unlike most confocal microscopes that capture only fluorescence intensity, the Stellaris 8 also records fluorescence lifetime data. This capability enables deeper insights into the local microenvironment of fluorophores, including pH shifts, protein-protein interactions, and ion balance.
A tunable white-light laser (440–790 nm) provides precise excitation across a much broader range of fluorophores than traditional systems.
Paired with five highly sensitive HyD detectors, these features allow researchers to multiplex more fluorophores simultaneously, enabling the localization of complex cellular and subcellular events with greater specificity.
Whether you are studying signaling dynamics, complex molecular interactions, or spatial biology, the Stellaris 8 delivers the power and precision needed to advance your research.
