ioLight Microscope

iOS Universel / Education

Displays and captures beautiful images and videos from the ioLight high resolution portable microscope.

Laboratory microscopes produce beautiful images, but cost over £3,000 and are difficult to use. Cheap microscopes do not have enough resolution for professional use or teaching. ioLight has developed a digital microscope, with a resolution of better than 1μm, which produces beautiful pictures of animal and plant cells and displays them directly onto your tablet or mobile phone.

The ioLight microscope has worldwide patents pending.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

This update adds time-lapse imaging which enables the ioLight microscope to record images over the course of hours or days, which is really useful for studying cell development amongst other applications.

Z-Stack imaging is also added. This feature enables a sequence of 9 images at different focus positions to be automatically recorded. These 9 images can then be ‘stacked’ into a single image composed of the in-focus parts of each image by using third party software such as ImageJ, Photoshop or Helicon Focus. Z-Stack image sets can be recorded both on taking a still image or time-lapse by holding the still image or time-lapse buttons.

The image grid can now be set to a range of values suitable for different ioLight microscopes. The grid will be stored on the saved image.

The image file names have been changed to include date, time and (for Z-stack) focus position. This makes it easier to keep track of images and enables time-lapse and time-lapse Z-stack image sets to be easily imported into ImageJ.
