Pipeline
Optiscan has designed a platform technology which can improve patient and healthcare outcomes in many areas of clinical practice.
Our goal is to provide patients with certainty, transparency, and peace of mind. Our technology enables earlier detection and treatment of disease that ultimately leads to better outcomes.
For clinicians, our hand-held digital endomicroscopes can accelerate histopathological data acquisition, and help establish a new standard of care.
In life sciences, our technology offers researchers the opportunity to pursue their curiosity without compromise, and empowers them to enhance their research outcomes by generating high quality longitudinal study data.
Our probe form-factors can be designed to enable doctors to interrogate tissue through natural body orifices or surgical openings, and our development pipeline will target new clinical applications through in-house development and collaborations with established academic research institutions and companies alike.
Our technology enables real-time digital pathology. We are actively developing digital pathology platforms to enable real time collaboration between surgeons and pathologists. Instant assessment of images using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is under development.
Optiscan is working on innovating and commercialising new technology solutions that enable informed decisions for healthcare globally and establish a new standard of care in digital pathology and precision image guided surgery.

Optiscan is looking forward to innovating and commercialising new technology solutions that enable informed decisions for healthcare globally and establish a new standard of care in digital pathology and precision surgery.
Our technology can be used across multiple applications
The Optiscan probes are fibre optic fluorescence confocal microscopes that are built for instant digital solutions in the medical and life-science imaging sectors. Images are generated by simply touching the probe against the tissue of interest. This technology provides a platform for a range of imaging applications.
InVivage®
This intra-oral microscope provides virtual histology from within the oral cavity enabling identification of cancer and precancer, monitoring of mucosal lesions, and mapping of cancer margins. It is DICOM and PACS compliant allowing sharing and storage of image data.
Optiscan’s Gen-2 scanner underpins the imaging component of the InVivage®, ViewnVivo® and CONVIVO™ (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) device. Optiscan’s Gen-1 scanner was used in the Pentax ISC-1000 flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes and Optiscan’s FIVE1 life-sciences device.
ViewnVivo®
Optiscan’s life-sciences endomicroscope for applications where, high resolution, portable, flexible, intravital fluorescence confocal imaging is required.
Zeiss CONVIVO™
Convivo™ is the result of a collaboration between Optiscan and Carl Zeiss Meditec for application in neurosurgery. Its In-Vivo Pathology Suite enables neurosurgeons and remote pathologists to discuss tissue pathology during surgery in real time.
