Edmund Optics® and Etaluma Announce Sales Partnership

Edmund Optics^® (EO), the premier provider of optical components, and Etaluma, today announced that they have entered into a sales channel partnership to make Etaluma next-generation inverted LS microscopes accessible to a wider range of researchers and educators. Etaluma’s entry-level LS560 green fluorescence microscope and LS460 monochrome brightfield microscope can now be purchased from the Edmund Optics website and catalog.

Etaluma has always relied upon Edmund Optics to provide key optical components for its microscopes and the new sales channel builds upon this long-standing relationship. “Etaluma’s instruments deliver an appealing blend of resolution, functionality, and affordability – they provide users with diffraction limit resolution at a fraction of the cost of traditional microscopes,” said Stephan Briggs, Director of Life Science, Edmund Optics. “Adding Etaluma inverted LS microscopes to our product line reinforces our commitment of selling only the best optical products.”

“Edmund Optics has a long history of providing the highest quality optics to the academic and integration markets.
