LUMOS II ILIM
That’s Lightspeed.
For Infrared Imaging.
LUMOS II ILIM
The LUMOS II ILIM is the fastest chemical imaging microscope ever with a field of view of 2.2 x 2.0 mm² at 4.25 µm spatial resolution. Smart workflows dedicated to the application (tissue / particles / tablets) make your daily work easier.
Meet the future of infrared imaging: LUMOS II ILIM
By integrating Infrared Laser Imaging (ILIM) into the LUMOS DNA we created something extraordinary. Finally, we can start thinking in images, instead of spectra. You are no longer looking at a microscope, but "Infrared Eyes" that let you characterize your samples at unprecedented level of detail and IR imaging speeds.

“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!”
The LUMOS II ILIM is packed with features
The Objective Lens
Developed by Bruker, it provides incredibly high-quality IR images by offering two things: a high numerical aperture of 0.6, and a remarkable field of view of 2.2 mm x 2 mm.
Spatial Coherence Reduction
This patented ILIM technology is the game-changer in IR laser imaging and microscopy. It eliminates spatial coherence artefacts and allows users to create astonishing chemical images.
WinGuardTM
The LUMOS II is known and loved for its open, revolutionary design. That's why we designed a smart laser protection system that yields laser safety class 1 while remaining open access to the sample stage.
Bar Code Reader
The LUMOS II ILIM is designed for througput in routine applications. Setting up measurements by using a QR or bar code reduces possible bottlenecks of sample preparation and measurement setup.
Full Hardware Automation
Bruker systems always offer a lot of automation, but especially with a system that is as fast as LUMOS II ILIM, it becomes a necessity. 100% reliability in every measurement by simply starting up the device.
The Validation Plate
Operational and performance qualification (OQ/PQ) are super easy with our validation plate. Let the system self-calibrate and self-validate by simply inserting it into the LUMOS II ILIM.
“By leveraging this (ILIM's) advanced measurement approach to analyze battery electrodes at a fundamental level, we have accelerated progress in green energy technology.”

The most advanced software in chemical imaging
Adaptive Chemical Imaging
Right from the start, we have implemented artificial intelligence in the DNA of the LUMOS II ILIM. In tandem, it allows you analyze terabytes of data in the minimum amount of time - without being a black box.
Smart User Interface
As an all-in-one software, OPUS embraces microscopy like no other. Our workflows are logical, efficient and comprehensive so that users find everything they need without being overwhelmed.
Dedicated Workflows
In our application packages we offer a true push-button analysis. Users can tweak the system for automated analysis so that each and every sample is analyzed by using the same parameters.
