  • Configurations

    LLX
    Lionheart LX Automated Microscope. Fluorescence, high contrast brightfield and color brightfield imaging. Includes standard Gen5 software and 4-position slide holder. The imaging controller, objectives, filter/LED cubes, accessories and software upgrades are sold separately.

  • Software

    Gen5 Microplate Reader and Imager Software controls Lionheart LX for automated image capture, processing, analysis and development of publication-ready images and data. This imaging and microscopy automation represents BioTek’s Augmented Microscopy™ – the simplified, automated process to accomplish multiple microscopy steps in a single platform. Gen5 is available in several editions to meet the image analysis requirements across a range of applications.

    Gen5 Image+ offers complete imaging control for Lionheart LX Automated Microscope, and provides image processing and analysis including z-projection, image stitching, hitpicking and digital phase contrast.

    Gen5 Image Prime controls Lionheart LX Automated Microscope includes more expansive image processing and analysis: Z-projection, image stitching, hitpicking and digital phase contrast, plus advanced features including secondary mask, dynamic thresholding and subpopulation analysis.

    Gen5 Secure editions add features to help ensure compliance to 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

    Gen5 add-on modules provide increased functionality for specific applications or analyses, such as Spot Counting.

  • Features

    Affordable automated digital microscopy.
    Lionheart LX has an automated 6-objective turret and can contain up to 4 LED/filter cubes for multi-channel image capture. The precise automated stage and autofocus, auto exposure and other Gen5 software features enable simple, automated image capture and analysis.

    High contrast brightfield, color brightfield and fluorescence imaging
    With brightfield, color brightfield and fluorescence imaging in four channels – and more than twenty available filter/LED cubes, Lionheart LX offers fantastic versatility that isn’t limited to image capture. Imaging processes from z-stacking to z-projection, montage collection to stitching; plus analysis from label-free cell counting to mitochrondrial membrane potential are all accomplished with Lionheart LX and Gen5 software.

    Augmented Microscopy: Easy imaging workflow automation
    BioTek’s Augmented Microscopy automates image capture, processing and analysis for publication-ready images and data. Automated image capture starts with image-based and laser autofocus, plus auto LED and exposure. Automated image pre-processing optimizes images for downstream analysis, from cell counting to characterization of subcellular details

    Quick analyze: instant cell count and confluence measurement
    Get cell counts and confluence calculations directly on the live camera feed. Gen5 software controls Lionheart LX to quickly find the region of interest and display counts onscreen without needing to capture the image. The quick analyze function works for samples in a variety of labware.

    Integrated, compact design offers quick installation and setup
    Lionheart LX integrates all microscopy hardware into a very compact footprint, saving valuable bench space. The easily accessible objectives and LED/filter cubes make setup and operation fast and simple, with a minimal learning curve.
