Fluorescence microscopy uses specially designed fluorescent probes or dyes that bind to specific molecules or structures within the sample. These probes emit visible light when exposed to specific wavelengths of light using a fluorescence microscope, making the target structures glow in contrast against the dark background.
This versatile imaging method has applications across diverse fields, including cell biology, neuroscience, immunology, genetics, and microbiology. It aids in cancer research, drug development, disease diagnosis, and the exploration of fundamental biological processes.
Our selection of fluorescence microscopes covers most levels and applications of fluorescence microscopy.

Fluorescence Microscopes For Clinical Diagnostics/Testing |
Upright/Compound Fluorescence Microscopes
Upright Fluorescence Compound Microscopes are used for observing thin, transparent, slide mounted specimens that are viewed from above and have been treated with fluorophores, under magnifications typically ranging from 40X to 1000X. |
Inverted Fluorescence Microscopes
Inverted Fluorescence Microscopes are used for advanced imaging involving live-cell observation. |
Fluorescence Stereo Microscopes
Stereo/Dissecting Microscopes are widely used for viewing large specimens such as nematodes, Zebrafish, oocytes and insects that have been labelled with GFP. |
Portable Fluorescence Microscope
This unique microscope offers a portable solution for fluorescence microscopy. |
LED Illuminators For Fluorescence Microscopy
We are official suppliers of Coolled LED fluorescence illuminators and Micro-Shot LED fluorescence illuminators that can be retrofitted to existing microscopes, upgrading your mercury or metal halide systems to more energy efficient, safe and environmentally friendly LED technology. |
Cameras
Fluorescence cameras are designed for low light imaging and are often supplied with software that gives full control of important aspects of the camera such as integration period. |
Motorisation
Should you wish to motorise your fluorescence microscope; we have extensive experience in the field of motorisation and can provide both standard and customised systems for almost any application. Our systems can include complete motorised microscope solutions, or by part including motorised stages, focus, turrets and much more. |
