| Anyone familiar
with tuberculosis, malaria and other widespread diseases is fully aware of their
impact on the human population, especially in under-developed areas. It is estimated by the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention that 700,000 to 2.7 million people die of malaria each year, 75
percent of them African children, a sad and sobering statistic from any point of view. |
Remote locations are usually the areas with
the greatest needs, yet diagnosis in these areas can be difficult and costly.
Traditionally, fluorescence microscopy has been the gold standard for diagnosis of these
diseases, but epi-fluorescent microscopes are expensive to purchase, difficult to
transport and expensive to maintain. (Replacement bulbs alone can be as much as $300 each
and must be special ordered.) Lack of
sufficient funding often dictates that those who need diagnostic tools the most are simply
left without them. |

In contrast
to traditional epi-fluorescent microscopes, the Lumin is affordable, portable, durable and
reliable. The universal objective and light
conditioner easily retrofit to your existing DIN standard microscope. Simply remove an objective from your microscope,
screw on the Lumin’s 20, 40x, 60x or 100x (oil) objective with built-in light source
and plug the unit into any standard 110-220v (Universal) wall outlet power source. The unit actually operates on 12v DC or with an
optional solar battery. The unit is packaged
in a durable, high-impact resistant case for safe transport, and the long lasting bulb
will never need changing. |
With worldwide cases of malaria and tuberculosis numbering in the millions,
the need exists for a reliable diagnostic tool that is cost effective enough to be made
available where it is most needed. It is our
belief that the Lumin will fill this need and will lower the overall cost of diagnosis per
patient. The success of this product will be
measured not by the amount of revenue generated, but rather by the number of lives that it
will affect and improve. Our stated goal is to
make the Lumin available to those who need it at the least possible cost.
The epi-fluorescence microscope has long been confined
to the sterile and protected environment of clinical laboratories. Our hope is that with
the introduction of the Lumin Diagnostic System this will change. Do you feel that the Lumin, if made available where
it is most needed, will increase the number of accurate patient diagnoses and at an
overall lower cost per patient? We welcome
your questions, comments, suggestions and opportunities. To those of you on the frontline
of this battle, we thank you for your sacrifice and compassion.
