Lumar.V12
Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
How it works
The Lumar.V12 uses NeoLumar S objectives specifically designed for fluorescence. The system includes a light zoom (HiLite) coupled to the observation zoom for optimal fluorescence excitation. A motorized filter wheel with automatic filter recognition (AFR) holds filter sets. Motorized functions are controlled via the SyCoP (System Control Panel) which integrates a joystick, buttons, and a touch screen.[3][2]
Where it fits in the process flow
The Lumar.V12 has been used to image whole-mount zebrafish embryos for studies of cell adhesion and prion protein function.[4]
