The POWER to see more
ThePower HyD detectorfamily provides higher photon detection efficiency (PDE)* extremely low dark noise, and sensitive spectral detection from 410 to 850 nm.
- Enhanced image quality: STELLARIS provides an ideal combination of brightness, resolution and contrast.
- Complete spectral freedom: Our next-generation White Light Lasers allow you to simultaneously use up to 8 single excitation lines from across the spectrum. Image more fluorophore combinations than with any other confocal platform and use more labels in parallel, expanding your options into the NIR range.
- Gentle Live Cell Imaging: Preserve your sample’s integrity and image for longer periods of time through efficient signal acquisition at the lowest required levels of illumination
*2x higher Photon Detection Efficiency (PDE) compared to conventional multi-alkali Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT) and 3x higher in the extended red range.
The POTENTIAL to discover more
STELLARIS unique TauSensetechnologyallows you to extract an extra layer of information from every sample and increase the scientific impact of your research. TauSense is comprised of application-oriented imaging tools based on fluorescence lifetime that you can use to explore the function of molecules within the cellular context.
- TauContrast provides immediate access to functional information, such as metabolic status, pH, and ion concentration.
- TauGating improves the quality of your images by removing unwanted fluorescence contributions.
- TauSeparation helps you expand the combination of fluorescent signals in your experiment beyond the spectral options.
- TauInteraction provides straightforward detection and quantification of molecular interactions (e.g. protein-protein interaction).
The PRODUCTIVITY to do more
Streamlined setup and acquisition: ImageCompass, the STELLARIS smart user interface, provides users with an easy and intuitive way to set up even the most complex experiments with just a few clicks.
- Simply fast: Superb image quality in real time and at full speed with theLIGHTNING super-resolution, Dynamic Signal Enhancement (DSE), and the powerful AI feature AiviaMotion.
- Intuitive User Interface: ImageCompass guides you from the experiment setup through acquisition.
- Optimize your experiment: Tools like LAS X Navigator are seamlessly integrated for straightforward imaging.
Image analysis for hidden insights
Aivia and LAS X, advanced image analysis software solutions from Leica Microsystems empower you to take your microscopy-based research to the next level.
By combining STELLARIS with Leica’s AI-driven image analysis software Aivia, you can gain meaningful insights from your microscopy imaging data through a wide range of machine learning and deep learning algorithms.
Image: The maturation states relate to distinct pH values, captured via a change in the fluorescence lifetime of the NIR stain using the TauSeparation tool available in TauSense. In this example, four stages are identified from early to late endosomes and lysosomes (cyan, yellow, magenta, red). The individual endosomes are identified and tracked using the Aivia 3D Object Tracking tool (color-coded spheres and traces). Aivia analysis returns relevant parameters for characterization of the endocytic pathway, e.g. path length, mean track velocity, mean diffusion coefficient, mean curvature.
Image analysis solutions
Access data that matter
Get high-quality results faster with Autonomous Microscopy powered by Aivia.
- The AI-based rare event detection workflow for life science on STELLARIS autonomously detects up to 90 % of rare events in biological samples.
- Radically shorten the data acquisition time by up to 70 %, as objects of interest are exclusively identified and recorded. This exclusivity also saves you a big amount of space on your hard drive.
- Spend less time at the microscope: The autonomous rare event detection workflow requires only a fraction of the time you would usually need.
- Conduct experiments that were previously not possible due to time constraints and complexity with Autonomous Microscopy powered by Aivia.
