Compact, Lens-Free Microscope Demo Kit Adapts To User Applications
7/8/2016
Lens-free microscopy enables an abundance of applications to which traditional microscopes are less amenable. Examples include particle monitoring in a cleanroom environment or cell monitoring with the microscope integrated in the biotech tool. Built on earlier prototypes, imec’s lens-free digital microscope is offered as a ready-to-use evaluation kit for life sciences and industrial applications. This demo kit allows companies to try out their own applications and, with the help of imec’s engineers, fine-tune the tool toward their own requirements.
