Description
The SP8 DIVE (Deep In Vivo Explorer) is the first multiphoton microscope with spectrally tunable detection. The SP8 DIVE provides spectral freedom. Equipped with 4Tune, a tunable, non-descanned detection unit, the SP8 DIVE offers unlimited flexibility and enables users to develop new multicolor deep in vivo experiments. The SP8 DIVE provides maximum penetration depth and best contrast: The new Vario Beam Expander can be tuned for improved penetration depth of more than 1 mm and maximum resolution.
