CellOptic is advancing 3-D imaging technology with innovative solutions for 3D imaging.

One of our technologies is based upon a new holographic principle called FINCH, which is short for Fresnel INcoherent Correlation Holography.  FINCH is a  holographic technique, recently highlighted in Laser Focus World, in which 3-D images can be captured in one snapshot.  FINCH can be used in a wide variety of life science and engineering fields in which image data is obtained with a digital camera, extending the information into the 3rd dimension. With a normal camera, information out of the plane of  focus in the 3rd dimension is lost.  With FINCH, all planes in the imaged volume are in focus.  Thus, in addition to 3D photography, a wide variety of other applications are possible.  FINCH has now been applied to fluorescence microscopy in which high resolution images are obtained at all planes from just one hologram.

The company also recently received a US Patent for wide-field 2 - photon microscopy that, for the first time, enables 3D multi-photon imaging without laser scanning. This advance greatly simplifies and reduces the cost of multi-photon microscopy allowing the acquisition of multi-photon images with a widefield microscope.
