Built Around Possibility
Trusted by the world’s leading semiconductor, biotech, and pharmaceutical innovators.
Design & Development
Built Around Your Requirements
Every custom project starts with a simple question: what would the ideal outcome look like? Our team takes the time to understand your goals, challenges, and performance requirements before a design is ever proposed. From illumination subsystems to fully integrated imaging and analysis platforms, we develop solutions tailored to your application, optimized for manufacturability, and engineered for long-term success. By keeping your vision at the center of the process, we help transform ambitious ideas into dependable, production-ready systems that deliver a lasting competitive advantage.
Discovery & Analysis
Understanding the Problem Before Designing the Solution
The best designs start with a deep understanding of the application. We partner with customers to define success early, evaluating technical requirements, workflow needs, commercialization goals, and time-to-market considerations. By focusing on the data your users need to generate, we develop illumination and imaging solutions that maximize performance where it matters most.
Prototyping & Testing
Designed to Perform. Built to Scale.
From first concept through production-ready designs, Lumencor emphasizes rapid iteration, rigorous testing, and manufacturability. Our engineering and production teams work together throughout development to optimize performance, reliability, and cost while reducing project risk. By validating designs early and often, we help customers move from prototype to production with confidence.
Technical Support
Expertise That Extends Beyond the Product
When you work with Lumencor, you gain access to a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and optical experts committed to your success. We provide practical guidance throughout development and beyond, helping customers navigate technical decisions, overcome challenges, and achieve the performance objectives that define successful products. Our goal is simple: to be a long-term partner in innovation, not just a supplier.

TARGA Imager
Revealing Development in Brain Neural Network
Brain SpheroidThe De Vrij Lab in the Department of Psychiatry at the Erasmus Medical Center (Erasmus MC), Rotterdam, utilizes hiPSCs to generate living human brain cells in efforts to uncover mechanisms of neurodevelopment and differentiation. Insights gained from organoid fluorescence imaging are crucial for high-throughput drug discovery and neurotoxicological screening applications. To facilitate the rapid and consistent imaging of brain cells and organoids in the De Vrij Lab, Lumencor customized a TARGA Imager.
VOLTA Scanner
High-Throughput Screening for 2D and 3D Cell Models
Fluorescence waveforms of 2D and 3D hIPSC-CMs collected on the VOLTA Scanner at 10 kHz sampling rate over timeLumencor’s VOLTA Scanner is a kinetic optical plate reader, designed to support high-throughput screening of both 2D and 3D hIPSC-CMs. It generates traditional electrophysiological data that is associated with traditional patchclamp studies, however VOLTA uses optical transduction for signal generation. Whether assessing cellular functional responses to test compounds or comparing CM performance, VOLTA enables consistent, reliable, scalable data acquisition—all on the same platform.
CELESTA Light Engine
CELESTA Sees a Sea Urchin
Various Z-sections of a late blastula stage of the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata stained for microtubules (red), actin filaments (green), and DNA (blue)Captured using the CELESTA Light Engine, this multi-color, 3D video reveals dynamic cellular structure across multiple z‑sections of a late blastula stage sea urchin. Microtubules (red), actin filaments (green), and DNA (blue) are visualized with exceptional clarity, highlighting the precision and power of CELESTA for advanced imaging.
"Lumencor Light Engines provide strong light intensity, a fairly uniform field, and many wavelengths. This allows us to quantify more samples in more colors, faster."
Johan Paulsson, Professor of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School
"I've decided to eliminate mercury based illumination in microscopes within my core for a variety of reasons. Beside the obvious elimination of a highly toxic element, I find that Light Engines perform better for my applications, especially when using green and far-red fluorophores. Additionally, a combination of energy efficiency, bulb life, and solid-state triggering to eliminate mechanical shutters made the decision to switch to Light Engines very simple."
Matthew Kofron, Ph.D., Confocal Imaging Core, Cincinnati Children's Hospital
"Lumencor Light Engines help us save time, money, and the environment."
