Product description

Confocal microscope with multi-laser excitation, spectral detection, AOBS, live-cell incubation, and high-speed scanning up to 200 fps.

The Leica TCS SP5 is a versatile confocal microscope designed for advanced multi-channel fluorescence and live-cell imaging applications. It offers high-resolution imaging capabilities, making it ideal for capturing detailed cellular structures and dynamic processes.

Key features include:

  • Multi-laser excitation: Equipped with multiple laser lines, including 405, 458, 476, 488, 496, 514, 543, 594, and 633 nm, facilitating the excitation of a wide range of fluorophores.
  • Acousto-Optical Beam Splitter (AOBS): Allows rapid switching between collection parameters without mechanical movement, enhancing flexibility in fluorophore combinations.
  • Spectral detection system: Features a prism-based spectral detector with five tunable channels, enabling precise emission collection and spectral scanning.
  • Live-cell imaging support: Incorporates an incubator enclosure for maintaining optimal conditions during live-cell experiments.
  • High-speed imaging: Offers both conventional and resonant scanning modes, achieving frame rates up to 200 frames per second, suitable for capturing rapid cellular events.
  • Automated stage: Facilitates multi-position imaging and large-area stitching, enhancing throughput and efficiency in data acquisition.

This instrument is widely utilized in cell biology, neuroscience, and molecular biology for applications such as live-cell imaging, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). It is commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical research facilities. Introduced in the mid-2000s, the Leica TCS SP5 remains a valuable tool in many research settings, though newer models have since been developed.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
