The sliding scanning system is superior in fluorescence and brightfield capabilities
Leica Center of Excellence
The UC San Diego School of Medicine Microscopy Core is now a Leica Center of Excellence! We have three Leica systems that are supported by Leica:
- Leica SP8 Confocal with Lightning Deconvolution
- Leica SP8 Confocal with White Light Laser, Falcon (FLIM), STED and Lightning Deconvolution
- Leica Stellaris 5 Confocal with Lightning Deconvolution and TauSense Tools
If you would like to benefit from our center's collaboration with Leica, you can do so in the following ways:
Write a White Paper!
White papers are short descriptions of your research application. Descriptions include use of our Leica systems along with a beautiful image.
Write a Techical Note!
Technical notes consist of more indepth description of methods used or developed on the Leica platform.
Both white papers and technical notes are a great way for you to increase the impact of your publication! Readers will naturally visit your publication after reading your Leica collaboration and potentially cite your paper.
Give a Webinar!
Leica can promote your lab and your research through hosting your talk to the world!
Be a guest speaker at a local conference!
Leica can host you to be a guest speaker at one of the many local conferences held in San Diego.
If you are interested in any of these options or would like more information, please email us for details.
Leica Representative Onsite
A Leica representative can come onsite for assistance as requested
- Leica Representative: Carlos Alonso
Core staff are available during business hours to answer any questions regarding all core resources and techniques

Beyond Intensity: Harnessing Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy in Cell Biology
Lifetime Imaging in an Instant with Leica SP8 FALCON
Harness the power of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to investigate cellular physiology and explore dynamics in living cells. SP8 FALCON is the first truly integrated solution for FLIM and delivers benchmark results at least 10x faster than conventional systems. Add a new dimension of contrast to your imaging, opening the door to biosensing and tracking of interactions between proteins.
Seminar: Wednesday, September 18, 2024 | 12:30-1:30PM
UCSD Center for Neural Circuits and Behavior, Marilyn G. Farquhar CNCB Large Conference Room
Presented by: Julius Bogomolovas, Assistant Project Scientist - UCSD
Lunch will be provided based on RSVP responses
