BioBus Images

Lumenera is a proud partner of BioBus, a mobile microscope laboratory aimed at giving students the opportunity for hands-on scientific exploration.

In partnership with BioBus, Lumenera has donated seven of their research-grade microscopy cameras to be used on the bus. The cameras will equip the microscopes on the BioBus and allow students to capture their experiments and discoveries utilizing high performance cameras that can be found in professional laboratories.

The students will be sent home with the photos they took with our INFINITY cameras and have a chance to be entered into the "Student Cell-fie Image Contest," where the best image taken all school year will win its class the grand prize of a $500 back-to-school supply shopping spree and a microscope to benefit the entire class.

BioBus and Lumenera's cameras were featured in a "NBC Nightly News" segment. Watch it here:
