The SP8 TCS HyD confocal microscope system allows super sensitive imaging due to the Leica HyD hybrid detector. This detector combines low noise with high signal levels, reducing the light dosage delivered to the sample and is ideal for light sensitive samples and week signals. The microscope includes 4 laser lines: 405nm, 448nm, 477nm, 488nm, 552nm, 638nm and the objectives: 10x 0.4, 20x 0.75, and 40x 1.3 (oil), 63x 1.4 (oil).

The system covers a wide range of confocal applications, including a number of other advanced techniques such as FRAP, FRET, FLIP and Photoconversion.
