Leica DM2500
Leica DM2500 & DM2500 LED optical microscopes are two optical microscopes wih different illumination: DM2500 LED is equipped with LED illumination for transmitted light, DM2500 works with halogen. Both types of illumination render a realistic impression of the colors of the sample. [Product Link]

Leica TCS SP5 Broadband Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope
Leica TCS SP5 is a broadband confocal microscope that provides the full range of scan speeds at the a high resolution. With its SP detection (five channels simultaneously) and optional AOBS (Acousto Optical Bream Splitter), the Leica TCS SP5 delivers bright, noise-free images with minimal photo damage at high speed. The system is also the platform for the new Leica DM6000 CFS (Confocal Fixed Stage) for physiological and electrophysiological experiments and for the new super resolution Leica TCS STED confocal microscope.

Molecular Devices ImageXpress High Content Confocal Imaging System
ImageXpress Micro Confocal system is a high-content solution that can switch between widefield and confocal imaging of fixed and live cells. It can capture high quality images of whole organisms, thick tissues, 2D and 3D models, and cellular or intracellular events. The spinning disc confocal and sCMOS camera enable imaging of fast and rare events like cardiac cell beating and stem cell differentiation. With MetaXpress software and flexible options like water immersion objectives to choose from, the system enables many confocal imaging applications from 3D assay development to screening.
