Abstract
The LSM 5 LIVE is a new design for fast confocal imaging, which acquires images at extremely high frame rates and allows experiments not possible in the past, while maintaining the advantages of conventional scanning systems, such as adjustable confocal apertures and scalable frame formats with pan and zoom. Additionally, the LSM 5 LIVE offers fast and sensitive parallel acquisition with charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors for high quantum efficiency.
