Unique Value Proposition

• Disruptive Technology: Our unique, patent-protected method produces high-resolution digital pathology images through "tissue contact," not physical slides saving pathology laboratories time and money and giving clinicians answers when they want them most.
• Global Application: By integrating live, high-resolution cellular imaging into surgical, clinical, and pre-clinical environments, Optiscan accelerates disease detection, precision treatment, and improved patient outcomes.
• Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: Our technology supports earlier disease detection and diagnosis, potentially leading to more effective, targeted treatments.
• Precision Surgery: By using Optiscan technology during intraoperative surgical procedures, we offer surgeons the confidence to more precisely and accurately remove tissue disease the first time providing better patient outcomes and saving the healthcare system millions of dollars in unnecessary expenditure.

Our Process

• Application: Topical (research) or intravenous (clinical) fluorescent contrast dye is applied to the tissue of interest.
• Laser Scanning: A single optical fiber projects a pinpoint of laser light into the live tissue in a scanned raster pattern.
• Fluorescence Detection: Fluorescence emitted by the tissue is transmitted back to the detector via the same fiber.
• Imaging: Moving lenses create variable focal planes under operator control, allowing for detailed imaging through tissue.

Key Features

• High-Resolution Imaging: Up to 1000x real-time magnification, revealing subcellular details (0.55 µm resolution).
• 3D Imaging Capability: Z-axis focus for comprehensive three-dimensional imaging, with depth capabilities up to 400 µm.
• En Face Orientation: Images are oriented parallel to the tissue surface, providing clear views of the cellular structure and tissue architecture.
