Warner Instruments’
Multielectrode Array (MEA) System

Imaging on a Lumascope 560!

If you plan to be at Experimental Biology in Orlando (April 6-9), please stop by Booths 1315-1317!
Our friends at Warner Instruments will be showing a Lumascope 560 equipped with a Multielectrode Array (MEA) system for extracellular recording of electrically active cells.
Use this system in your research on neurons, cardiomyocytes, retina, and Islets of Langerhans.

Multi Channel Systems’ MEA2100-Mini

[contact-form-7 id="4426" title="Request Info 2"]
The MEA2100-Mini is a perfect complement to Etaluma’s LS560 green fluorescence / brightfield / phase contrast microscope.
The MEA2100-Mini System and Etaluma microscopes are ideally suited for incubator use (10-95% non-condensing humidity).
Lumascope 560
Green Fluorescence, Brightfield and Optional Phase Contrast
Use the LS560 Microscope to visualize and capture high resolution widefield images comparable to those from traditional, high-cost microscopes. The LS560 utilizes an LED light source, Semrock filters, advanced optical engineering, and a CMOS sensor to provide near diffraction-limited (theoretical maximum) resolution. Powered only by a direct USB computer connection, the LS560 uses the same USB cable to send your photos, time-lapse series, and videos directly to your computer. And its compact size enables working inside challenging locations including incubators , hoods, and environmental chambers.
LS720
Lumascope 620
Blue, Green & Red Fluorescence with Manual Stage
LS Microscopes (also called Lumascopes) utilize LED light sources, Semrock filters, advanced optical engineering, and CMOS sensors to provide near diffraction-limited (theoretical maximum) resolution. Powered only by its USB connection, the LS620 easily records your photos, time-lapse series, and videos directly to your computer. And its compact size enables working in challenging locations, including inside incubators, biological safety cabinets, and environmental control workstations.

Features and Benefits of Lumascopes
  • Versatile. Fluorescence (green or 3-color), brightfield, phase contrast
  • Multi-mode. Record images, time-lapse & live video
  • High resolution. Comparable to traditional, high-cost microscopes
  • Compact. Fit inside incubators, hoods, and hypoxia chambers for live cell imaging
  • Simplified optics. Capture more light so less cytotoxicity and photo bleaching
  • Flexible. Microplates, slides, microfluidic chips, dishes, flasks, custom labware
