Luminescence Imager for Exploration
The Luminescence Imager for Exploration (LIfE) is an automated bright-field and epifluorescence microscope designed identify and characterize morphological and textural indicators of life and to identify, resolve, and characterize microscale structural features indicative of cells and cell fragments. To achieve these objectives, LIfE uses visible light to image organic and inorganic structures with submicron resolution, combined with, deep ultraviolet (DUV), ultraviolet (UV), and visible-light excitation for autofluorescence characterization of sample organic and mineral content. LIfE also autonomously manipulates samples to stain key molecular and structural indicators of microbial life (e.g., proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids) for fluorescence microscopic detection.
