Leica TCS SP8
The Leica SP8 is a dual purpose visible confocal microscope and multi-photon on a single platform. The confocal microscope is equipped with 4 detectors, one of which is a highly sensitive hybrid GAsP/APD (HyD) for low light imaging. It has visible laser lines at 458nm, 488nm, 514nm, 561nm and 633nm.
The Leica SP8 is also a multi-photon microscope that can utilize the internal detectors from the visible confocal as well as two external NDD detectors for direct detection. The microscope is an upright, fixed stage system that is ideal for whole animal imaging as well as traditional slide mounts.

μCT Imaging
Bruker Skyscan 1272
The Bruker SkyScan 1272 is a high-resolution μCT scanner equipped with an 11MP X-Ray detection system that can scan samples up to 75mm in diameter at resolutions down to 0.4μm. The system has a built-in precision micropositioning stage and a 16-position automatic sample changer that allows the adding / removing / replacing of samples without interrupting a live scanning process. Automatic magnification adjustment and scanning protocol optimization are available for individual samples.
Widefield Microscopy
AxioObserver/AxioZoom Workstation
The AxioObserver/AxioZoom Workstation is a widefield platform that hosts both an inverted compound microscope AND an upright Zoom microscope.
