Cairn Research is an Independent research-orientated company specialising in microscopy solutions for the life sciences. From our origins as a provider of turnkey optical systems for fast intracellular ion measurements we have maintained close links with our academic customer base enabling us to develop a broad range of products and solutions to meet their expanding needs. Our strength lies in our understanding of both the requirements of the research microscopy community and of the advances in technology from which they can benefit. We have a “can do”, informal, and friendly attitude and are always willing to give advice. The company has evolved organically to encompass four distinct, but interrelated areas. We are instrument designers, manufacturers and vendors of both Illumination and Detection products. Our illumination products encompass a wide range of light sources, adapters and specialist launch systems; typically used in conjunction with a third-party, or Cairn-built, microscope or macrosope. On the detection side our primary focus is on multi-channel imaging using one or more third-party cameras. These products are largely based around optical techniques, most importantly, fluorescence, optogenetics, photolysis and transmitted light imaging. Although fully independent we are closely allied with Chroma Technology and a large number of our illumination and detection products make use of their high performance interference filters.

LaVision BioTec supplies advanced microscopy solutions for life sciences. UltraMicroscope II utilizes six light sheets to excite large samples with fluorescence light. Moving the sample through the light sheets generates 3D image stacks at cellular resolution. TriM Scope II is a modular multi-photon microscopy platform combining single- and multi-beam operation for deep in-vivo imaging. Multiple accessories provide customization.

Luxendo is a spin-off from EMBL in Heidelberg, commercializing advanced light-sheet fluoresecence microscopes. Luxendo has recently closed its Series A financing round, co-led by EMBL Ventures, Heidelberg and LSP, Amsterdam. The MuVi-SPIM microscope is one of the fastest light-sheet microscopes for 3D imaging of large specimen. It provides four simultaneous orthogonal views even without the need for sample rotation so that complete 3D stacks can be acquired within a few seconds at lowest illumination intensities. The compact and easy-to-use design of the MuVi-SPIM makes it a flexible and extendible platform. It ensures the best long-term opto-mechanical and thermal stability for your live imaging experiments.

Photon Lines supplies a range of scientific cameras (including CCD cameras, CMOS and sCMOS), lasers and laser components which are optimised for Lightsheet microscopy. We also supply advanced scientific imaging solutions primarily into the area of biophotonics, such as Label-Free Live Cell Imaging Systems and fluorescence microscopy equipment including the products of PhaseView, who have engineered unique 3D imaging technologies for life science microscopy applications. Based on a novel remote focusing principle, PhaseView imaging products allow for high speed 3D imaging which is only limited by camera frame rate, while keeping bio-specimens in a stable position without moving the objective or stage. Using this acquisition principle, PhaseView’s Alpha3 light sheet fluorescence microscope addresses the issue of high temporal resolution along with spatial high-resolution, to achieve 3D imaging of dynamic biological processes.
