LumaScope™ Fluorescent Live Cell Microscope

Can Go Anywhere

$20K performance for $6K

The LumaScope Fluorescence Live Cell Microscope is a fully functioning microscope with performance to rival more expensive brand name systems.  Enabled by state-of-the-art components, the LumaScope is the first design to strip away all unnecessary design elements.  What remains is a quirky box that pushes the edge of image quality and acquisition.  The system functions in bright field and single-channel fluorescence modes, providing stellar resolution in ambient lighting conditions.  This makes it ideal for automated image acquisition directly inside a cell culture incubator – no perturbation, no expensive stage required.  It is also very nice for remote or classroom conditions, or simply as an affordable microscope that sits in an out-of-the-way location on your lab bench.  Not convinced?  Check out the following images acquired by the Lumascope:

Flexible enough to answer most questions

Let’s propose some questions and see if the LumaScope is clever enough for an answer.  Can it replace my existing microscope?  Certainly, the LumaScope is a full functioning microscope with the ability to visualize cells on slides, flasks and plates.  Is it easy to set-up?  Simply connect to a local computer with a USB cable – that’s enough to both control and power the microscope. Need to acquire images in an incubator?  That’s simple too, simply place it on a shelf, no need to remove other shelves.  Want a broader field of view?  Try the 10x objective.  Need to study subcellular structures? Try swapping in the 40x objective for high resolution imaging.  Can it do time lapse studies?  That’s what the LumaScope is designed for.  Program it to acquire images over seconds, minutes, hours or days – the applications are unlimited.
