Proteins, DNA and RNA all look stunning in glass - and Luminorum can normally render ligands, ions, bases, water molecules and other het groups in a variety of formats with pin-sharp clarity.  We’ll also personalize your model, should you wish us to, with the text inscription or logo of your choice.

The images below illustrate the versatility of our technology. Click on a thumbnail to see the corresponding full-size photo - or, even better, check out a three-dimensional view of our featured crystals by following the movie links. If you’re a Macintosh user, you may need to download Windows Media Player for Mac before you can view our video clips. You’ll find it useful for this and any number of other websites.

Incidentally, there’s a simple explanation for the colours you can see in the crystals featured below: we filmed or photographed them on one of our LED light bases. If you want to display your own model to its best advantage, we would strongly recommend that you include a light base in your order.  See our online shop for details.
