Imagine Optic, ICFO to Build Multiphoton Imaging System

French company Imagine Optic, a provider of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing technology, has teamed with the ICFO (Institut de Ciències Fotòniques, or Institute of Photonic Sciences) in Barcelona, Spain, to develop an ultrasharp multiphoton imaging system prototype that pushes the current technological limits of imaging devices in a project supported by a Marie Curie Industry-Academia Grant. "The development of high-resolution, nondamaging imaging techniques is crucial for understanding the biological processes occurring at the cellular level," said ICFO group leader and project coordinator Pablo Loza-Alvarez. "The combined expertise of both partners will allow for a novel, compact and powerful tool within nonlinear microscopy which we expect will open up a new range of applications and commercial opportunities," said Imagine Optic Business Manager Rafaël Porcar.
