Revolutionizing Fluorescence Microscopy: Introducing Lumascopes

Lumascopes present a revolutionary approach to high-resolution, inverted fluorescence microscopy. Designed by active scientists, these compact microscopes offer imaging capabilities comparable to traditional, expensive counterparts. Unlike their complex predecessors, Lumascopes prioritize quality images, versatility, compact design, user-friendliness, and affordability.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Unparalleled Resolution

Utilizing LED light sources, Semrock filters, advanced optical engineering, and CMOS sensors, Lumascopes achieve near diffraction-limited resolution. Powered solely by a USB connection, these microscopes effortlessly record photos, time-lapse series, and live videos directly to your computer. Their compact size allows operation in challenging environments, such as incubators, biological safety cabinets, and environmental control workstations.

Adaptability for Diverse Applications

The inverted design of Lumascopes accommodates various labware, including microplates, flasks, dishes, and slides. Manual XY Stage adjustment (available separately for LS620, LS560, or LS460) or automated control (LS720) offers flexibility. The included Lumaview software simplifies image transfer and enables time-lapse studies over different durations, with live videos recording at up to 30 frames per second.

Applications Across the Life Sciences Spectrum

Lumascopes find application in a myriad of life sciences tasks, including live cell imaging, cell growth and confluence measurement, cell migration and wound healing studies, transfection efficiency determination, protein expression tracking and quantification, cell differentiation observation, high content analysis, intravital studies, and photomicroscopy in locations without AC power.
