Phi Optics instruments can support a variety of applications ranging from biopharma R&D to academia. Featuring non-invasive QPI with submicron resolution and nanometer sensitivity, researchers use Phi Optics optical microscopy to yield more detailed information about growth and morphology of live cells, tissues and assays.
CELL GROWTH
SLIM can non-invasively measure the dry mass of a single cell, or many individual adherent cells in various conditions. SLIM has sub-micron resolution and has the ability to measure cell growth in long-term, live cell experiments.
CELL DYNAMICS
With sub-nanometer sensitivity and diffraction limited resolution, SLIM is ideal for studying cell dynamics. SLIM can track the movement of small organelles or quantify an entire ROI as a whole.
PARTICLE ANALYSIS
SLIM and GLIM assist biopharma R&D researchers by providing label-free data about assays for protein production, cell cultures, particle characterization, aggregation, and as a means to monitor bacterial impurities.
NEUROSCIENCE
SLIM provides a safe, label-free environment where neurons and neuronal stem cells can be studied at both single cell level and population level over time.
TISSUE IMAGING
SLIM and GLIM assist pathology labs and researchers with label-free, quantitative data that can help assess the condition of the tissue, leading to faster diagnosis and the prediction of the course of the disease.
3D TOMOGRAPY
SLIM and GLIM Pro versions are capable of performing 3D tomography on unlabeled live cells and tissues. This is done by r imaging through the focal plane and reconstructing the images into a 3D model for further study and analysis.
