Introduction: Elevate Your Advanced Imaging—Introducing the CELESTA Light Engine

In the world of high-content and high-throughput imaging, the quality and stability of your illumination source is the critical difference between groundbreaking discovery and experimental uncertainty. Is your current light source limiting your ability to maximize multiplexing, or compromising resolution when speed is essential?

We are proud to introduce the CELESTA Light Engine (including the CELESTA quattro models), a revolutionary solid-state laser illumination platform engineered to deliver the power, speed, and uniformity demanded by the most advanced scientific applications. The CELESTA Light Engine is not just a light source; it is a precision tool that unlocks unprecedented imaging capability across Life Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Advanced Materials, and Semiconductor Processes.

Why CELESTA Leads the Market

The core innovation of the CELESTA Light Engine lies in its architecture: it incorporates arrays of 4–7 individually addressable solid-state lasers. Lumencor has mastered the art of marrying the high brightness of LASERs with specialty beam shaping to ensure every output is controlled, consistent, and homogeneous.

This power and precision translate directly into superior performance for demanding platforms, including CrestOptics spinning disk systems and spatially resolved transcriptomic platforms. As confirmed by users, the CELESTA Light Engine allows researchers to multiplex up to five probes for high-content, high-throughput imaging without sacrificing resolution. This capability is crucial for successfully imaging difficult specimens despite lots of overlap in excitation and emission of the probes.

Whether your work involves continuous wave illumination, pulsed illumination, or time-lapse imaging, testing has demonstrated the CELESTA Light Engine’s consistency, power, and stability. This makes it the “Ideal laser illumination for MERFISH, STORM, PALM and PAINT“ workflows and a cornerstone for applications such as Optical Pooled Screening, tracing chromatin architecture using ORCA, and high-throughput in situ sequencing.

Choose the CELESTA Light Engine to ensure your research achieves the high-resolution, high-throughput results required for tomorrow’s scientific breakthroughs.
