Leica Microsystems Stellaris 8 DIVE

Location: Medawar Building. Room 2.19B.

The DIVE (Deep In-Vivo Explorer) has the following features:

• A fixed-stage upright DM6 microscope stand
• The choice of standard objective lenses and special long-working distance dipping lenses for imaging deep into live and cleared specimens
• A dual-beam Coherent Discovery multiphoton laser with a tunable laser line and a fixed 1040 nm laser line
• A range of visible lasers for confocal imaging
• Spectrally tuneable imaging with non-descanned detectors using the 4Tune system.

Technical Specifications

Lasers

The DIVE has the following visible solid state lasers for confocal microscopy.

The infrared laser for multiphoton microscopy is a Coherent Discovery NX with a fixed line at 1040 nm that can be used for red dyes such as tdTomato and mCherry, and a tuneable line that can be adjusted between 660 nm and 1320 nm. The fixed and tuneable lines can be used simultaneously.
