Carl Zeiss is demonstrating a new member in its LSM-7 laser scanning microscope family, the LSM780, which using a new GaAsP detector to double the sensitivity.
To make the GaAsP detector technology available to a wide range of users, it will be offered in three versions: as an internal spectral 32-channel detector in the LSM 780 laser scanning microscope, as a detector upgrade for existing LSM 710 systems and as the external LSM BiG upgrade module. All versions of the 32-channel GaAsP array permit traditional spectral imaging, photon counting with maximum sensitivity, and single molecule visualization through fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) with one to six signal channels.
With this new technology they can capture 512×512 images at 8fps, and as high as 250fps if you drop to 512×16 pixels. In addition, they have a new HDR scanning mode that scans the image at multiple acquisition settings and combines them into a single image.
