 enlarge | | The beam path of the LSM 5 LIVE is completely revised. From the complex cross-sectional shaping of the laser beam through the changed form of the confocal aperture to the novel detector – the entire optical concept is consistently tailored to biomedical applications. Leading-edge optical technology in the service of life sciences, innovation from Carl Zeiss. |  |  LSM 5 LIVE

|  | | AchroGate beam splitter
The new AchroGate splitter, with virtually 100% excitation efficiency and highly effective emission yield, guarantees 100% performance even on thick or weakly fluorescent specimens. Color-independent beam splitting gives you, for the first time, flexible, universal and sensitive imaging. No electrical or mechanical switching of different main beam splitters to slow down your imaging. | | |

| | | SK filters
The LSM 5 LIVE is available in configurations comprising highly efficient steep cut-off filters. Wheels with such filters (Semrock BrightlineTM and other makes) are also available as retrofitting units. | | |
