  • The free LAS-AF-Lite software for the SP5 can be downloaded from the Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy (London), at the free software for image analysis and visualisation pages. There are also further links to SP5 compatible software (ImageJ, CellProfiler, Leica software, Improvision volocity 'lite' - you need to register, nice 3D features).
  • The Hybrid detector combines functional elements used in PMTs and APDs (Avalanche Photo Diode). The photoelectrons created at the Gallium-Arsenide-Phosphide (GaAsP) photocathode are accelerated in a strong electrical field, passing an electron bombardment and an avalanche element. The HyDs have less noise and higher sensitivity. They can amplify weak signals and are therefore usable for dim samples.
