A close-up, eye-level shot focuses on the objective lenses of a microscope, which are made of shiny metal. A sample slide is visible on the stage below, illuminated by a warm, golden light coming from beneath, suggesting active observation. Two hands wearing bright blue laboratory gloves are partially visible on either side of the microscope, indicating a person is operating the equipment. The background is blurred, maintaining focus on the scientific instrument.

Luxendo enables high-resolution non-harmful observation and 3D-reconstruction of living organisms over long time periods. We develop a microscopy Technology, that – for the first time ever – allows scientists to watch living organisms (dividing cells, tissues, fly and fish embryos, etc.) at high resolution over long times without destroying or harming them. So far, this cannot be done with the existing microscope or Imaging technologies. Therefore, the technology opens for the first time the door to the study of spatiotemporal development of living organisms under different conditions.
