Tomocube Wins Microscopy Today Innovation Award for HT-2 Microscope
Te world’s first holotomographic microscope with 3D fluorescence was recognized as a photonics breakthrough by the 2019
Microscopy Today Innovation Awards. Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) of
label-free 3D refractive index (RI) tomography combined
with fluorescence imaging reveals the structure, volume, surface area, concentration, and dry matter mass of individual live cells in real time. Holotomography and fluorescence correlative analysis in 2D, 3D,
and 4D will advance research for a better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of disease.
