Etaluma

Product Name:

Lumascope 720

Catalog Number:

LS720

This review is for the Lumascope 720, which has been discontinued and replaced by the Lumascope 850.

 

We use the Lumascope for live-cell fluorescent automated imaging during hypoxia as the microscope is small enough to fit in our incubators. The LED lightsource is powerful, where the Etaluma allowed us to resolve low intensity fluorescent labeling that our existing Axiovert 200M could not.
