Life Molecular Profiling
Leica TCS CARS

With the integration of CARS technology into the broadband confocal system Leica TCS SP5 II, Leica Microsystems expands the range of sophisticated applications in life science research and food.

The combination of visible, IR and UV lasers, SHG and CARS provides the full range of live cell imaging like analyzing of living cells, tissues and even small whole animals at high speed as well as brilliant images with high resolution.

CARS strongly supports the trends in food science and technology to analyse compound migration, lipid distribution or influence of microstructures on quality and mouthfeel of food.

Your Advantages


Overcoming the Limitations of Dye-based Imaging CARS (Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering) microscopy is a label-free technology which images the characteristic intrinsic vibrational contrast of the molecules in the sample. The image is no longer generated by staining but by the pure molecule itself. The specimen remains almost unaffected.	Video Rate and High Resolution in One System Leica TCS CARS can be set up with a tandem-scanning system. The conventional scanner serves for all morphology and classical speed live cell applications. The resonant scanner provides a wide range of high speed options. This flexible combination two scanners makes the Leica TCS CARS an ideal device for multi-user facilities.
Easy Experiment Setup With a Fully Integrated System Get the full control of the compact CARS laser with the system software LAS AF. The tight integration of the laser control into the software makes the sophisticated process of adjusting multiple system parameters completely transparent. This solution offers the most convenient way to perform CARS experiments for experts and novices alike	Excellent Imaging With VIS, UV, IR, SHG and CARS Leica TCS CARS provides an integrated platform for experiments involving CARS technology, single photon, multiphoton fluorescence, and UV lasers in simultaneous or sequential mode. Laser sources, scanner model and imaging mode can be optimally adapted to the application of interest and setup within the system software LAS AF. Leica TCS CARS ensures ambitious experiments running smoothly, ergonomically, and intuitively.
