Luxendo was founded in 2015 as spin-off from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). They develop
and manufacture proprietary light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instruments. With a strong focus on applications, LUXENDO’s
solutions are easy to use. The microscopes avoid sample photo toxicity by sequentially illuminating a stack of thin slices of the
organism, allowing scientists to observe living organisms for extended periods of time without photo damage.

The new TruLive3D Imager from Luxendo is optimised for fast 3D multi-sample imaging of delicate live specimens in their native 3D environment. The optical concept, with dual-sided illumination and single-lens detection from below, enables fast acquisition speed, high-resolution imaging, and minimal shadowing effects. The system is especially suited for multi-position imaging of small embryos (e.g. Zebrafish, Drosophila or mouse), 3D spheroids, oocytes and more, enabling time-lapse, high-throughput imaging experiments.
The LCS SPIM is one of the latest product in LUXENDO’ s growing family of light-sheet microscopes. The basic configuration of the Luxendo LCS offers a cost-effective solution for cleared sample imaging. Based on a very versatile layout, the highly flexible upgrade options expand the performance of the system to increase speed and optical performance.
An exchangeable quartz crystal cuvette simplifies the whole sample mounting procedure as well as cleaning and maintenance, while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of clearing solutions by covering a refractive index (RI) range from 1.33 to 1.57. The cuvette is available in different lengths to accommodate samples of different sizes: the maximum cuvette dimensions are 40 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm (l × w × h).
The MuVi SPIM is a horizontal setup designed to image large volumes very fast. The unique 4-axis concept with its
two-sided illumination allows four combinations of illumination and detection. This provides four orthogonal views of the
specimen without the need for sample rotation, avoiding shadowing effects and facilitating long-term imaging. Combined with the
sample mounting from below, this allows maximized acquisition speed and high precision of data fusion while preserving stability
and integrity of the sample.The MuVi SPIM capacities can be further extended to enable imaging of optically cleared samples and
performing photomanipulation experiments (e.g. ablation, bleaching). For this purpose, the MuVi SPIM CS (Cleared Sample) and the
MuVi SPIM PM (Photomanipulation) have been conceived.
The MuVi SPIM LS is the very first light-sheet microscopy system by LUXENDO.
Featuring a horizontal setup, it is designed to image large volumes of living objects very fast. The unique 4-axis concept with its two-sided illumination facilitates four orthogonal views of the sample without the need for rotation.
The LUXENDO MuVi SPIM CS is an extension of the MuVi SPIM capabilities to enable 3D imaging of optically cleared samples.
The LUXENDO MuVi SPIM PM is an extension of the MuVi SPIM capabilities to enable photomanipulation of your sample.
Dedicated to live imaging, the Luxendo InVi SPIM is a microscope that has been optimized for long-term 3D fluorescence
imaging of living specimens. Easy access to the sample chamber, precisely controlled environmental conditions, maximized
photo-efficiency, and short illumination times enable long-term imaging without harming live specimens. The minimization of
required specimen medium further leverages its functionality. The optical configuration combined with the fast acquisition speed
of the InVi SPIM enables 3D reconstruction, tracking of cellular and subcellular positions, and morphological analysis in real
time.
The InVi SPIM is the first commercially available inverted light-sheet microscope.
It is perfectly suited for a great variety of samples and applications ranging from cell culture to whole embryos (e.g. Drosophila and Zebrafish).
The Advanced Illumination Module (AIM) is a modular extension of the InVi SPIM that provides the highest level of flexibility for illuminating your sample with a light-sheet.
It expands the capabilities of the InVi SPIM: while maintaining the ease-of-use and stability of the system, it adds tailorable, interactive adaptability of the beam shape to suit the highly specific requirements of your sample. You choose what gives you the best results for your 3D high resolution imaging experiment – large field of view, high speed or optimal spatial resolution.
The QuVi SPIM combines dual views with dual detection channels to enable large-scale 3D imaging of life specimens and cleared samples. The system enables fast and simple transition between from living and cleared tissue imaging. Its novel stage design allows using SBS-format plates and provides an easy sample accessibility by means of its quick load feature. Since the objective lenses are exchangeable, a wide variety of samples of different sizes and preparations can be imaged.
