Fluorescence Microscopes & Accessories

Pricing for fluorescence microscopes varies widely based on configuration, imaging modalities, and upgrade options such as multi-channel fluorescence or AI analysis software. Laxco's SLiPro Series and Accuva LEAP platform pricing is available on request, allowing customers to receive quotes tailored to their specific research and budget requirements.

A standard light microscope uses transmitted or reflected white light to view samples, relying on natural contrast or staining. A fluorescence microscope instead uses specific excitation wavelengths to trigger fluorescent emission from labeled structures, enabling researchers to visualize specific molecules, proteins, or cellular components with much greater specificity and contrast.

A fluorescence microscope illuminates a sample with a specific wavelength of light, exciting fluorophores within the specimen. These fluorophores absorb the light and emit it at a longer wavelength, which passes through filters to the detector, producing a bright image of labeled structures. Systems like Laxco's SeBaLIT technology enable real-time, multi-channel color imaging.

Yes, Laxco's fluorescence microscopes are designed with modular, field-upgradeable architecture. The SLiPro Series and Accuva LEAP platform can be expanded from brightfield or phase-contrast imaging into fluorescence, and further upgraded with AI-powered analysis software, laser capture microdissection modules, and additional fluorescence cubes as research needs evolve.

Laxco's fluorescence microscopes support multiple simultaneous channels, including DAPI/FITC/TRITC, ultraviolet, far-red, and CFP/YFP/RFP configurations. The SLiPro Series allows single-channel and multi-channel switching at the click of a button, while the Accuva LEAP features a motorized turret accommodating up to three distinct fluorescent filter cubes.

Fluorescence microscopes are widely used in cancer research, drug discovery, developmental biology, live-cell imaging, and laser capture microdissection. They enable researchers to verify cell and tissue integrity, track multi-wavelength fluorescence signals, and conduct detailed research workflows requiring precise, publication-quality imaging.
