Company registered at Companies House
Development, manufacture and sale of ptychographical microscopes, including a contact lens profilometer, a general biological imaging light microscope with very high contrast phase imaging capability, and a cell life cycle monitoring system. Other products include a generic computer system for adding on to electron, EUV or X-ray microscopes. A contact lens metrology service is also offered.
The contact lens industry employs the Phase Focus metrology microscope to compare various contact lens designs. This has revealed that many lenses do not comply with oxygen permeability standards. The Phase Focus Livecyte system, which can track many hundreds of cells reproducing and moving in vitro has, for example, demonstrated that certain cancer drug treatments are not as efficacious as previously thought, and can even exacerbate cell motility.

The Phase Focus Virtual Lens® (otherwise known as ptychography) is a new microscopy method that eliminates the need for hardware focusing components, thereby removing the straitjacket imposed by the costs, limitations and imperfections of conventional lenses. Instead of lenses, the Virtual Lens image reconstruction process is performed by a sophisticated ...
