Lionheart LXAutomated Microscope
The Lionheart LX automated microscope is designed for affordability, offering an alternative to expensive, custom-built automated microscopes that are complex to learn and use. The compact, ocular free hardware design is more comfortable to use and reduces ergonomic distress in operators.
Along with Gen5 software, Lionheart LX enables Augmented Microscopy, which fully automates image capture, processing, and analysis. Operation is easy, load samples, start a run and gather publication-ready images and quantitative data. Lionheart LX can increase your research output and reduce time and costs.
- Small benchtop footprint
- High-quality optical components
- Wide field of view
- Augmented microscopy
- Open-stage design
- Autofocus customized for your sample types and labware

Features
Small benchtop footprint
|
The Lionheart LX 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 LX 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
Open-stage design
|
The open design of the Lionheart LX 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. |
