  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Calcium Imaging at Heidelberg University

    Dr. Freichel’s group are primarily interested in how ion channels regulate the influx of calcium ions (Ca2+) as messengers for cellular and systemic functions.

  • Calcium Imaging at Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne

    Professor Rod O’Connor and Dr. David Moreau work together to develop flexible, conductive polymer electrode devices to record electrical activity and optical measures of physiology from neurons to study the bioelectrical basis of diseases like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

  • Spinning Disk Expansion Microscopy

    The laboratory of Prof. Ewers moves in a number of different research directions, one of these deals with the septin cytoskeleton. Septins are a family of essential, conserved GTP-binding proteins that form heteromeric, non-polar complexes that further assemble into filamentous structures.

  • PLIF Combustion Imaging

    The group of Prof. Dirk Geyer, including Ph.D. students Martin Richter and Adrian Breicher, work towards the decarbonization of energy conversion. They told us about their research, “Our main research field is the combustion of promising new fuels for the future such as hydrogen and ammonia, which, unlike methane, contain no carbon in their molecular structure and therefore produce no CO2 emissions in the combustion process.

  • 3D Axially Swept Light-Sheet Microscopy

    The lab of Prof. Reto Fiolka develops new, transformative technologies to image across scales: from sub-cellular imaging to imaging of whole organs. In the Fiolka Lab, Dr. Stephan Daetwyler is a postdoctoral researcher who builds, programs and applies advanced light-sheet microscopy systems to image dynamic processes in live biological organisms.
