Microscopes inside the body.
We create miniaturized yet powerful diagnostic technologies for rapidly visualizing tissue microstructure and function over entire organ surfaces.
Reimagining the endoscope
From ultracompact laser scanners to point of care optical systems, we strive for instant diagnosis at the cellular level, by the patient bedside, in the operating room.

Microscopic mapping of entire organs

Bridging surgery and pathology
Hardware and analytics for assessing tissue before, and immediately after excision to enable real-time surgical guidance and margin evaluation.
Our team
Skilled in electrical, mechanical, optical engineering and artificial intelligence. Focused on challenges in human health and disease.
