Serving your workflow

LAS X is made for every step of your research. This platform provides maximum ease of use and enables anyone in your team to become productive quickly. LAS X allows you to set up experiments, conduct them, and analyze their results. Using one platform for these tasks saves you time and helps ensure reliable results.

Save time, gain reliability

Handle your data smoothly

Reviewing and displaying your data has just become easier:

  • Select an object on the screen and view its highlighted measurement in the results table
  • Use the Automatic Classifier to group your results
  • Display and follow the particles’ trajectories over time
  • Save the results with the experiment or create a report including histogram and binary mask

Complex made simple

LAS X supports you in analyzing even complex fluorescence experiments with ease.

  • Create separate analysis channels for each fluorescent marker or color
  • Assign an individual workflow to each
  • Run an analysis of all aspects of your sample at the same time, e.g.
    • Count the number of spots per nucleus
    • Count healthy and abnormal cells in two separate channels

A quantum leap in high speed acquisition

The high speed linear motor stage offers absolutely precise positioning at previously unattainable speeds, e.g. 5 positions per second with a 40x objective. During acquisition vibration sensors detect when the stage stands still. The final results are razor-sharp images taken at the perfect moment, even when acquiring with maximum speed. This dramatic improvement is due to the optimal synchronisation between image acquisition and stage movement.

The Quantum Stage allows you to:

  • Do high speed positioning with absolute precision (< ± 1 µm)
  • Manually move the stage at any time while keeping the precise slide position tracked

Be in full climate control

With the Environmental Control module you can control all environmental data like temperature, CO2 or O2 conditions in one interface. All data is saved with the experiment.

  • Monitor environmental data live or review it afterwards
  • Run temperature profiles by using an acquisition macro
  • Get a warning or automatically stop your experiment when parameters are out of range

Your pathfinder in image analysis

LAS X guides you through the analysis workflow, step by step.

  • Get immediate feedback on the applied settings at each step through a viewer
  • Get guidance from analysis wizards which lead you quickly to reproducible results
  • Run automated analysis of multiple samples

GPS for your cells – the powerful navigation tool

Switch from searching image by image to seeing the full overview of your samples. Like a GPS for your cells, LAS X Navigator ensures that you always have a clear roadmap to brilliant data.

Create fast overviews of your samples and identify the important details instantly. Then set up high resolution image acquisition automatically using templates for slides, dishes and multiwell plates.

LAS X Navigator can define an arbitrary number of focus points to build a focus map.

LAS X Core

Intuitive. Innovative. Indispensable

The LAS X Core Software has full image viewing capabilities, including annotations, image overlay and image comparison. It controls your Leica microscope. If you add a compatible Leica camera, you have a complete image acquisition station.

Acquisition and advanced modules complement LAS X Core software and boost your imaging and analysis capabilities.

*Please note that LAS X Core is not sufficient to drive a confocal system. Acquired data can be viewed, but no data can be acquired.

The power of LAS X in advanced life science research

Complex experiments require careful set-up and scrupulous execution. With LAS X you can be certain to elevate the impact of your work through its powerful features, focused on usability in every aspect. LAS X takes usability to the next level with a range of functions designed to facilitate you in your workflow.

  • Run high speed experiments
  • Analyze and review your data during image acquisition, e.g. FRAP, FRET, in LAS X
  • Use the auto exporter function for external analysis and feedback into LAS X
  • Create spectacular 3D rendered time lapse movies in real time during acquisition
Identification of distinct structures in a transverse section of roundworm. The combination of the fluorescence lifetime-based information and the fluorescence intensity with a stage application, gives an extra layer of contrast to tell different structures apart. LAS X Navigator enables this task to be performed seamlessly over the entire specimen.
