Fluorescence Microscope Leasing for Labs

Labeled cell and tissue imaging—without tying up your budget. Lease the microscope that fits your workflow.

What Is a Fluorescence Microscope?

Fluorescence microscopes use high-intensity light to excite fluorophores within a sample, allowing researchers to visualize specific proteins, structures, or molecular events. These systems are essential in cell biology, neuroscience, immunology, and molecular diagnostics for both fixed and live-cell imaging.

Why Lease a Fluorescence Microscope?

Fluorescence microscopy enables targeted, high-contrast imaging—but systems with precision filter cubes, high-sensitivity cameras, automated stages, and spectral capabilities can be expensive to acquire and support.

Whether you're performing multiplex assays, tracking live cells, or imaging fixed tissues, leasing helps you implement advanced fluorescence tools—without capital roadblocks.

Where Leasing a Fluorescence Microscope Adds Value

Fluorescence microscopes are essential for cell biology, molecular imaging, and diagnostic applications—offering high sensitivity and specificity across a range of workflows. But advanced systems with automation, multi-channel capabilities, or live-cell support can be costly to acquire upfront.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You’re launching new research initiatives—Access specialized imaging quickly without capex delays.
  • You’re upgrading outdated or manual systems—Boost resolution and automation with minimal disruption.
  • You’re expanding diagnostic or core lab capacity—Add systems as demand grows, without ownership burden.

Whether enhancing resolution or scaling analysis, leasing a fluorescence microscope gives your lab the adaptability it needs—without tying up capital.

Helping Scientists Scale & Succeed

"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase and the whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.

As a busy start-up CEO, I am always aware of how important it is to keep our science progressing while on a tight budget.

Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."

"Building a biotech is a lot of work. Excedr has been a dynamite partner in making that scaling happen.

They were a great partner when scaling Distributed Bio from an 8 member lab team to 35 members by the time of acquisition. When I started Centivax, Jon was one of the first people I called.

I recommend them for any biotech startup."

"Securing top-tier lab equipment while managing cash flow is a constant challenge. Excedr has been an invaluable partner in helping KiraGen Bio access the high-quality instrumentation we need without the heavy upfront costs.

Their flexible leasing options and outstanding support allow us to focus on advancing our research rather than worrying about equipment procurement and maintenance. For any biotech startup looking to scale efficiently, I can’t recommend Excedr enough."

Aaron Edwards

Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio

"Excedr helped us to finance a BLI system about a year ago. Sylvia did an excellent job at helping us to understand our options, since our company was new to equipment financing.

The leasing process was fast and easy when compared with self-funding our purchase, plus the speed and ease with which Excedr onboarded us freed up our team’s time to focus on research and grant management.
