Lionheart FXAutomated Microscope
The Agilent BioTek Lionheart FX automated microscope is a compact system for a broad range of imaging workflows. It offers up to 60x air, in addition to 60x and 100x oil immersion magnification. Combined with fluorescence, brightfield, color brightfield, and phase contrast imaging channels, the imager provides maximum application reach. An optional environment control cover provides incubation to 40 °C, in addition to effective containment for CO2/O2 control to enable performance of cell-based assays. A humidity chamber can be added to optimize conditions for long-term live cell imaging applications. An available dual reagent injector also facilitates rapid kinetic assays.

applications
Lionheart FX is designed for easy implementation of a broad range of fixed and live cell assay workflows. BioTek’s concept of Augmented Microscopy brings automated image capture, processing, analysis and publication-ready images and data to the benchtop – for many applications, including these important areas:
- Cell migration and invasion assays
- Live cell imaging
- High resolution microscopy
- Immunofluorescence
- Phenotypic assays
- Histology
Live Cell Proliferation and Viability Application Guide
The Scratch Assay Starter Kit automates cell migration and wound healing assays:
AutoScratch automatically makes consistent, repeatable scratch wounds.
The Scratch Assay App automatically calculates % confluence, wound width and maximum healing rate (max V).
AutoScratch creates scratch wounds with excellent performance, compared to manual methods.

Features
Small benchtop footprint
|
The Lionheart FX has a small footprint and is easily installed on a standard lab bench with no need for a dedicated darkroom. |
High-quality optical components
|
Lionheart FX uses high-quality Olympus objectives and Semrock filters, which drive excellent image quality and performance. |
Wide field of view
|
The wide field of view (WFOV) camera provides fast, automated imaging in microplates and slides. Large tissue sections (left) and microplates (right) can be imaged from low to high magnifications. |
Augmented microscopy
|
When paired with Gen5 imaging software, the Lionheart FX provides a unique fully automated capture, process, analyze and publish workflow. |
Environmental controls for live cell imaging
Open-stage design
|
The open design of the Lionheart FX stage allows researchers to work with microfluidic devices. |
Autofocus customized for your sample types and labware
|
A. Image-based autofocus is available on all Agilent BioTek imaging systems. It focuses on the plane of highest contrast in the sample, including “shifting” biology within the well. |
Dual-reagent injector module
|
The dual-reagent injector module for Lionheart FX allows fast cellular reactions to be imaged after the addition of a reagent. |
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Taking a Close Look at the Basics of Life with the Help of Lionheart FX
28-May-21
For the curious at heart, science represents an endless reservoir of questions to ask. But sometimes in the quest for knowledge, researchers can overlook the most fundamental yet complex inquiries. This is where Dr. Joseph Larkin aims to make his mark.
At the convergence of Boston University’s Biology and Physics Departments and also as part of the University’s Biological Design Center in Boston, Massachusetts, Dr. Larkin’s new laboratory poses the questions, “How – and why – do living things proactively and reactively interact with each other and their environment to perpetuate?”
