Watch ultra-high-speed processes with the LSM 7 LIVE, down into the time domain of just a few microseconds!
Living cells communicate at lightning speed. Enabled by electrochemical transport mechanisms at neuronal switches in the brain for example. These processes coordinate our movements, direct our senses, allow us to learn, determine our creative potential, and form our memories.

Search for the clues confocally with the LSM 7 LIVE.
High image information content is always needed to track transport processes in cells or organisms in high detail. For instance when a large number of very small structures are moving very rapidly. Whether erythrocytes in veins and arteries, bacteria or viruses penetrating the membrane of a host cell, whether mitochondria or dendritic spines on neurons.

| Fast in four dimensions |
Experience the complexity of life through the impressive dynamics of LSM 7 LIVE !
All of nature's organisms are three-dimensional. Living model organisms like the hair worm Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster are preferred subjects for investigation because of their short life cycles. So the researcher obtains results fast and with comparatively little effort.
But for years now, developmental biologists have also studied stages in the development of differentiated models like the zebrafish or mouse.
