The Lumascope 620 fluorescence microscope is a compact inverted, three color, epi-fluorescence microscope with brightfield and phase contrast capability. Samples prepared with fluorophores emit fluorescence only when they are excited with light of a specific wavelength (excitation wavelength).
The Lumascope 620 uses three LEDs with distinct wavelengths to excite fluorophores that are present in the sample. There is a larger sensor and a set of 5 filters, 3 excitation filtres for blue, green and red, than emission and beamsplitter filter.
These filters are ideal to use with fluorescence dyes like:
- Blue: DAPI,
- Green: FITC, GFP
- Red: mCherry, Texas Red
