High-Speed Fluorescence - External Filter Wheels for Living Cell Applications
They are fast, vibration-free due to their small size, and they offer exceptional versatility. These outstanding features are characteristic for Leica Microsystems fast filter wheels for excitation, attenuation and emission control. Their short switchover times render them suitable even for highly complex applications such as FRET or CA++ imaging (Fura2).

Leica Microsystems advanced ultrafast filter wheels ensure accurate imaging
The fluorescence filters are lightweight and small in diameter, allowing extremely fast filter switching and minimal vibration.
Excitation and emission light can be selected in just 24 milliseconds (acquisition speed: 31 fps), and individual excitation colors can be attenuated just as quickly.
Tailor-made application packages – even for highly complex life science experiments – are available. Software control is accomplished via either Leica Application Suite or the Leica AF Series, both offering a streamlined user interface that guides users through even complicated experiments.
In addition, Leica offers a full complement of digital cameras. Together with the alignment-free external light source Leica EL6000, the time resolution of fluorescence signals can be optimized even further.
