  • Volocity® Software For Spinning Disk

    A confocal microscopy dataset or image “stack” contains all the information needed to perform 3D and 4D reconstruction of the imaged sample. However, this typically isn’t possible without image reconstruction software, which allows the user to take the raw data and use it to produce still images and videos from the dataset.

  • What Is Spinning Disk Confocal Microscopy?

    Typical fluorescence microscopy involves illuminating the entire sample and detecting the resulting fluorescence. Illuminating and detecting from the entire sample includes collection of out-of-focus light above and below the focal plane, causing blurriness and image degradation.

  • Cognex selects CMOS image sensors from e2v for industrial ID products

    e2v, a global provider of high performance imaging solutions, has announced that its innovative CMOS image sensors have been chosen by Cognex, a leading manufacturer of industrial ID cameras and systems, for their image-based reading products.

  • What Is Super-Resolution Microscopy?

    Light microscopes are used to observe and image objects that are too small for the human eye to see properly. However, there is also a limit to what these microscopes can see, as they are limited by the diffraction limit of light and can only observe/image samples that are larger than approximately 200 nm in size.

  • Five Reasons Why The Kinetix sCMOS Has An 8-Bit Mode

    When imaging with the whole sensor, the Kinetix sCMOS runs at 500 fps in 8-bit mode. This makes 8-bit mode an easy choice for imaging dynamic live samples or for applications that require high speed such as light sheet microscopy, calcium and voltage imaging!

  • iSCAT Microscopy

    Interferometric scattering (iSCAT) allows for sensitive non-fluorescent detection of nano-scale samples, such as particles as small as 5 nm in diameter. This fills an important niche in biological imaging, allowing the detection of single nano-objects such as viruses, DNA, and proteins.

  • Quantum Simulation via Atomic Optical Lattices

    Alexander Impertro and Julian Wienand are both PhD students in the group of Prof. Monika Aidelsburger and Prof. Immanuel Bloch at the LMU Munich, working on experiments with ultra-cold atoms for analog quantum simulation.

  • RMA

    In the event that you should have any difficulties with your Lumenera camera, please contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) using the submission button below. Please note that an RMA (Return Material Authorization) number is required for any products being returned to Lumenera.

  • What Is Live Cell Imaging?

    An enormous amount of life science research involves imaging cells/tissues of all kinds. There are two main paradigms when imaging cells and tissues: fixed or live.

  • Ultra-High-Speed, Time-Resolved SRS Spectroscopy in Combustion

    In combustion, until recently only two temporal optical gating schemes were available to increase signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for time-resolved spontaneous Raman scattering (SRS) spectroscopy. Problematic optical background noise could be rejected either by electronic gating with an image intensifier or by using a mechanical shutter. Unfortunately, each of these traditional approaches has its shortcomings.

  • Confocal Raman Microscopy Study of Biological Tissues

    Over the past decade, significant progress has been achieved in the development of high-precision spectrographs, scientific camera technologies, and novel data analysis algorithms.

  • Paleoluminescence

    Paleontologists such as Dr. Pierre Gueriau rely on the accurate observation and interpretation of fossil anatomy in order to elucidate the origin and evolutionary history of life.
