This is again filter-free spectral confocal and multiphoton microscope equipped with SP2 AOBS laser scanning head which is attached to a Leica DMIRE2 inverted microscope. The imaging operations which include selections of laser, detection channels and other functions are fully automated and computer controlled. Many of its notable features are listed below.

Notable Features:

• Fully automated operational procedures
  
  
• High experimental throughput
  
  
• High numerical aperture immersion objectives
  
  
• Multi-photon, visible and UV confocal in one system
  
  
• Ultra-short pulse infrared laser for multi-photon imaging
  
  
• Non de-scanned detectors for the purpose of multi-photon and SHG imaging
  
  
• Transmission light detector for the differential interference contrast imaging
  
  
• Line and area scanning capabilities with simultaneous or sequential scanning options
  
  
• Motorized stage includes a galvanometer positioned Z axis, allowing either XY or XZ scanning
  
  
• AOBS selection and slit discrimination of collected emission allows for scroll bar style selection of band-width, from as little as a 5 nm window, to several hundred nm. This feature allows determination of fluorophore emission intensity profiles in frequency space
  
  
• Complex patterns of line and area scanning, 3-dimensional series, time series, wavelength series, and FRAP, FRET measurements
  
  
• Comprehensive image processing functions
