LS720 Microscope

The powerful, new LS720 Microscope 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 High Content Analysis systems. Whether imaging multiple fields in your flasks or 1536 wells of cells with 3 fluorophores in a 48 hour time-lapse, the LS720 offers a whole new world of automated microscopy!

  • Introduction

     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
