Well, tandem scanning was the term coined by Mojimir Petran for
his spinning-disk confocal system.  Ever since then there have
been companies offering similar systems.  Leica used to offer
such a system (based on the BD CARV) but have since discontinued
it.  But it is something very different in all respects (including
both price and performance) from the Leica STED which is a super-
resolution system offering 85nm resolution.

Presumably we're talking about the SP5 with conventional and resonant scanners and adapted for STED..?

Hello, what are we talking about here?  I've used the Leica STED (and I'm seriously impressed with it) but I didn't know Leica made a tandem scanner.  Please clarify!  I'm presenting results from the Leica STED at NZCM next week in Rotorua and in April at FOM in Krakow.  I do realise both are a bit remote from Brazil.

Hi,

I would appreciate any input on the Leica Tandem Scanner confocal microscope (pros and cons).

Many thanks !
