Etaluma LS560 Microscope

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.

• Digital inverted microscope compatible with microplates, slides, flasks, dishes, microfluidic chips, custom labware
• Compact design and environmentally rugged; use in incubators, hoods, and environmental chambers over months
• Comes with Lumaview software for capture of images, time-lapse series, and live video
• Simple USB connection to your computer provides power and control
• Excellent resolution in ambient lighting conditions or with Phase Contrast Accessory
• Detects green fluorophores, including FITC, Fluo-4 and GFP
• Includes accessible deck for easy exchange of objectives
• Optional Phase Contrast Accessory (Olympus condenser) for imaging of unstained samples

The LS560 utilizes a Semrock Brightline® Basic filter set optimized for FITC and other similar fluorophores. The 3-filter set is comprised of 1 excitation filter, 1 emission filter, and 1 beam-splitting filter. The LS560 contains a high sensitivity monochrome CMOS sensor with a 1700×1700 pixel image. Because the emission filter is limited to 508-552 nanometers, brightfield images are monochromatic.
