Project description
3D holographic 'movies' of microscopic events will advance medicine and biotechnology
The field of microscopy has advanced tremendously over the last several decades, opening new windows to the amazing world beyond our view. A picture may speak a thousand words, but, when it comes to medicine and biotechnology, a movie is even better. The EU-funded NanoXim project is preparing to commercialise its pioneering nanoscale holographic microscope that creates 3D movies. Harnessing the power of numerical reconstruction algorithms and theories to enable very high resolution, the nanoscale digital microscope may be 'filming' soon at a lab near you. Expect a burst in innovation and understanding of all sorts of interactions in living cells and tissues.
Objective
The NanoXim project proposes a disruptive nanoscale holographic microscope with a sensing architecture that can compensate for the lack of complexity of usual optical components (confocal) or markers (fluorescent) by use of novel theories and numerical algorithms. The technique based on digital holography allows to realize 3D movies with sub-µm resolution.
The instrument developed CEA builds phase contrast maps of a specimen by using 3D propagation and numerical reconstruction algorithms already implemented in a user-friendly interface. We propose realize a study of the a large panel of end-users and also to validate immediate needs and requirements in health problems and bio-technology.
First objective consists in supporting CEA to bridge the gap from research prototypes to the pre-commercial products and initiate the creation of a start-up. We will increase of the technology readiness of the instrument. TEMATYS SME will support this by bringing a market analysis and set a full business model. We will seek for valorization through patenting and licensing to put the instrument close to the market. A startup creation willbe initiated.
