STELLARIS 5 and STELLARIS 8 Digital LightSheet (DLS) unite in one place a confocal system and a light sheet microscope – a unique combination aimed to make your research more versatile. The exclusive vertical design of DLS, enabled by Leica Microsystems’ proprietary TwinFlect mirrors, allows you to combine confocal and light sheet imaging in the same system, so you can easily adapt the microscopy method to your experimental needs.
DLS also brings flexibility to your research with the capacity to image different types of samples, such as model organisms, organoids or cleared tissue, and the ability to take advantage of the full excitation spectrum. This flexibility is possible thanks to the STELLARIS White Light Laser and the ability to perform multi-position light sheet experiments whilst using standard glass bottom plates. All of this helps you add new and better ways to explore your research questions.
Experience the power of fast and gentle volumetric imaging.
Obtain more physiologically relevant data.
DLS and STELLARIS enable even gentler imaging giving you the ability to perform fast and gentle volumetric light sheet imaging and to improve your live cell imaging applications by increasing cell viability thanks to:
single plane illumination
fast imaging with a sensitive sCMOS camera
significantly increased spectral possibilities and the ability to perform even gentler imaging using excitation wavelengths in the far-red spectrum
capacity to generate a light sheet with the resonant scanner which results in shorter pixel dwell times and, consequently, less phototoxic effects.
