LumiScope

Light tight enclosure for sensitive optical recordings. Conducting luminescence experiments on a microscope requires a significantly different approach to low-light fluorescence.

Sensitive deep-cooled CCD or EMCCD cameras are used with exposures of several seconds up to tens of minutes, so the chamber must be completely light tight. Researchers typically build their own chambers which requires significant time and effort and is often unsatisfactory, especially with regard to access to the microscope. The LumiScope solves this problem by providing a completely lighttight chamber with a large, fully-sealed, door and mounting points, access for cables, perfusion tubing etc.

We also have significant experience and expertise in configuring chambers with high NA imaging lenses for low magnification applications with the camera mounted on top of the chamber.

Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements.
