The LUMOS II ILIM is the fastest chemical imaging microscope, featuring a 2.2 x 2.0 mm2 field of view with 4.25 µm spatial resolution. Smart, application-specific workflows for tissue, particle, and tablet analysis simplify daily tasks.
Highlights
Meet the future of infrared imaging: LUMOS II ILIM
By integrating Infrared Laser Imaging (ILIM) into the LUMOS DNA, the system offers a groundbreaking shift from spectral analysis to image-based thinking. More than just a microscope, it functions as "Infrared Eyes," enabling sample characterization with unparalleled detail and IR imaging speed.

We have been working in the field of tissue imaging and spectral pathology for over 20 years. One of the key barriers to clinical adoption is the long measurement times for full hyperspectral imaging of large areas of tissue. A sample set consisting of nearly 1500 prostate tissue cores, that took 3 months to measure on our old instrument, was measured in just two days on the Bruker ILIM system. This is a game changer!
