Open-Source Macroscope Enables Advanced Luminescence ImagingThis flexible platform captures up to 100 fps, costs under €25,000, and supports diverse research from plant science to optoelectronics.
- A European research team created an affordable, customizable luminescence macroscope featuring dynamic illumination for various sample types.
- The device supports programmable light sequences across UV to near-infrared wavelengths and enables time-resolved imaging at high speeds.
- Demonstrated uses include measuring photosynthesis in plants, characterizing fluorescent proteins, and analyzing electroluminescence in solar cells and LEDs.
- Complete open-access resources encourage replication, adaptation, and integration into automated workflows across scientific disciplines.
"This is not a one-off prototype. It's a platform others can build upon—an accessible gateway to exploring dynamic photophysics."— Ian Coghill, co-lead author, DREAM project, in the Optics Express article.
