Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA, [February 23, 2011] - Lumen Dynamics, a global leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of innovative specialty light delivery solutions, achieves the 2010 Prism Award for Photonics Innovation in the Test, Measurement and Metrology Category. Awarded for its X-Cite® XP750 Objective Plane Power Sensor, Lumen Dynamics triumphs within a competitive category positioned against 14 other industry recognized companies.

Winners of the Prism Awards, the premier competition for the photonics industry worldwide, were announced at a banquet in the Union Square Hilton in San Francisco held during SPIE Photonics West 2011, the world's largest international event encompassing industrial and medical applications of optics, lasers, and photonics. The Prism Awards, introduced for the first time in 2008, recognize the best in innovative technology within the multi-billion dollar business of optics and photonics. A distinguished panel of independent judges acknowledged as experts in their respective fields selected the winners from more than 80 entries. And, nine industry leaders (including Milton Chang, Stuart Schoenmann, Robert Edmund, and Michael Mertin) presented the awards to the winners.

Lumen Dynamics' award-winning X-Cite® XP750 Objective Plane Power Sensor is designed especially for measuring power in watts at the specimen level for fluorescence microscopy applications. The XP750 achieves an impressive dynamic range without the use of attenuating filters, allowing it to maintain a sleek form factor that fits easily on the microscope stage of both upright and inverted models; making it easy and convenient to obtain consistent and repeatable illumination throughout research experiments.

"We are very proud of our latest achievement of a 2010 Prism Award for the X-Cite® XP750," stated Allan Firhøj, President and CEO of Lumen Dynamics. "The XP750 is an intuitive and powerful measurement tool built on precise engineering to overcome the intricacies involved in enabling researchers to measure power at the objective plane with highest accuracy and convenience. This award is a true testament of our ability to combine innovation, functionality and ease of use in our products to deliver solutions that help our customers focus on their research."

In addition to allowing researchers in maintaining complete experiment documentation, the multifaceted XP750 offers tremendous value as a diagnostic tool for multi-user facilities, technical sales representatives, service centers and individual microscopists in assisting with equipment set-up and troubleshooting.

"These winning inventions demonstrate the remarkable creativity of the photonics community, the restless inventive energy that is what SPIE is all about," said SPIE CEO Eugene Arthurs. "I expect that many of these or their derivatives will be successful new products - the lifeblood of any company. They will help customers be more effective and so be a part of the great photonics enterprise that has already contributed so much to enhance our lives and that will play an increasingly important role in a sustainable future."

Intended to serve the medical device manufacturing market, the Novacure® has also became the gold standard for the telecommunications and opto-electronics component assembly industries.

The Closed-Loop Feedback patent is granted. Tied to international standards maintained by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) this technology patent is the basis for providing repeatable, controllable, calibrated light exposure to photo-reactive materials.

This patent is one of the cornerstones of our technology. It was born through our approach of understanding the needs of our customers, the environment our products are used in, and how our products are interfaced with other systems and photo-reactive materials. All of our products are designed to improve control and repeatability, so that customers can significantly improve efficiencies in whatever application they are focused on.

As a commitment to providing higher quality and continuous improvement in our operations we made the significant decision to comply with world recognized quality standards. In 1995 our company achieved ISO 9001 registration. ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems and it certifies that formalized business processes are being applied and that we focus on continuous improvement. Today we are still fully compliant to the latest standards.

With the launch of the Ultracure 100, we were industry pioneers in the industrial manufacturing assembly market for UV (ultraviolet) adhesive curing.

We were the first Canadian manufacturer of light-based curing systems for dental restorative material.

The company opened its doors as a privately held company in Mississauga (Greater Toronto), Ontario. This marks the beginning of the company’s journey to becoming a globally recognized leader in precision light-based technologies that are so well known today in its markets.
