Blue, Green, & Red Fluorescence and Walk-Away Automation
The powerful, new Lumascope 720
(LS720) adds walk-away automation to the many features and high performance of
the flagship 3-color LS620. Exquisite XY motion control, motorized focus that
allows autofocus and z-stacks, and easy-to-configure software combine to
facilitate your microscopy experiments and high content screens. Place the
LS720 in your incubator and you have a live cell imaging system at a fraction
of the cost of conventional HCS systems. Whether imaging multiple fields in
your flasks or 1536 wells of cells with 3 fluorophores in a 48 hour time-lapse,
the 720 offers a whole new world of automated microscopy!
Features and Benefits
- Automated XY stage with
autofocus in Z provides images (photos), time-lapse series, and videos
recorded directly to your computer
- Fully functioning microscope
empowers users to visualize cells from microplates, flasks, slides or
custom labware
- Modern LED and advanced
optical design provide near diffraction-limited (theoretical maximum)
resolution
- Robust software allows
set-up and control across many locations, including microplates and custom
arrays
- Versatile and compact design
enables use inside cell culture incubators and hoods
- Detects blue, green and red
fluorophores, including BFP, DAPI, FITC, Fluo-4, GFP & mCherry
- Flip-up deck allows easy
objective access
- Used manually, but also
robot compatible (RS485, RS232, 5V digital interfaces)
- Objective compatibility with
standard lenses permits use of your own objectives
