Impressions of Luminosa's capabilities

Remarkably simple. Precisely yours.

PicoQuant has acquired 25 years of experience with time-resolved single photon counting. During this time, PicoQuant has also cultivated strong ties to the scientific community, which we value immensely. We have gathered the extensive knowledge both of our scientific staff and expert scientists, and merged it to create our best time-resolved instrument & software package so far: Luminosa.

QUALITY AND PRECISION YOU CAN TRUST

Optimal performance for single molecule investigations in every measurement context: One-click auto-alignment procedure even without requiring a sample. Galvo scanning (maximum speed) and objective scanning (maximum photon detection efficiency) on the same microscope.

SAVE TIME AND SIMPLY FOCUS ON YOUR SAMPLES

Context-based, intuitive workflows guide you to efficiently harness the full power of smFRET, FCS and FLIM with confidence. Get analysis results with minimal user interaction. GPU-based algorithms provide fast and reliable results.

ADVANCED FLEXIBILITY

Adjust the observation volume to match the dynamics of your FCS and smFRET assays with a single click. An open mode of operation is available for full access to every optomechanical component via software.

What customers say about Luminosa

"I made measurements with Luminosa in one day, where it took 2 weeks to measure with other systems."
