Luxendo was founded 2015 as spin-off of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). The company develops and manufactures proprietary light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instruments. The microscopes avoid sample phototoxicity by sequentially illuminating a stack of small slices of the organism, allowing scientists to observe living organisms for extended periods of time without photodamage. Within two years, three different microscope systems were developed and launched, fulfilling various applicative needs. All products are distributed in the relevant global scientific markets.

Since May 2017 Luxendo is part of the Fluorescence Microscopy Business Unit within Brukers Nano Surfaces Division. The company is located in Heidelberg, Germany.
