We have developed a robust and inexpensive USB-based imaging engine utilizing a camera sensor. This technology is the result of our development of the IncuScope inverted fluorescent microscope. We would like to offer it as a module for other instrument makers to use in a variety of imaging functions.
We design and offer optical components, microscopy systems including automation, and accessories. We can also design and make custom versions. Products range from optics modules that fit inside or complement your instrumentation to private-label microscopes.
Please contact us for more information.

We have developed a robust and inexpensive USB-based imaging engine utilizing a camera sensor. This technology is the result of our development of the inverted fluorescent microscope. We would like to offer it as a module for other instrument makers to use in a variety of imaging functions. The module can consist of any or all of the following parts:
Main PCB / Control Board- which has a USB 3.0 interface for control of PCB, LED and Camera settings, inoput and output of DC power, and 6 LED outputs
Camera sensor or a complete camera can be mounted to the imaging module and connected to a PC directly. Currently a 2.3 MP color and up to 16 MP color sensors are available. we can offer CMOS, sCMOS and CCD depend on your requirment.
Manual LED Control through a ribbon cable to the mian PCB with two conttrol knobs and displays for channel name (1 to 6) and LED level (0-99).
Filter Cube- Contains emission filters, dichroic mirror along with focusing optics. Has threaded mount for objective lens.
Excitation Source- Contains excitation LEDs and excitation filters.
The following photos illustrate these components:
This single LED application has unlimitted application. We offer up to 40 different LEDs and custom filters. Popular application is fluorescnce imaging like GFP for C. Elegans.
We also offer reflected Amber (590nm) or far-red LED for IVF (in vitro fertilization), embryo incubation system with Hoffman-like phase contrast module, way cheaper than Primo Vision microscope.
