👁 Seeing Beyond the Surface: Optical Biopsy of the Cornea with PRISM-Light The outer corneal layer maintains clarity and moisture, with cells replaced by stem cells from the limbus. Imbalance can cause dryness, irritation, and vision issues. 🔍 Imagine capturing super-resolved autofluorescence images of this delicate tissue—fresh, label-free, and with unprecedented clarity. This is now possible with PRISM-Light, powered by our SPAD array detector. 🌟 What makes this possible? ✅ Enhanced signal collection → Up to 8x better signal for deeper tissue imaging ✅ Unmatched spatial resolution → Down to 100 nm resolution ✅ Minimal photodamage → 70% lower light exposure compared to conventional methods With PRISM-Light, real-time optical biopsy is within reach, enabling researchers and clinicians to study cellular processes in fresh tissues like never before. 🚀 Let’s talk about how this could transform advanced diagnostics and tissue engineering! #SPAD #SuperResolution #OpticalBiopsy #PRISMlight #CornealImaging #BiomedicalImaging

What if you could separate #multiple #fluorophores with identical spectra—just by their #lifetime? 🔬 FLISM for Multispecies Imaging  With PRISM-LIGHT based on SPAD array technology, you get super-resolution in space and time in a single instrument, enabling true photon-resolved FLISM. How? By leveraging the best lifetime analysis techniques: 🌀 Phasor Segmentation Method: Ideal for situations where you have a priori knowledge of the lifetime components present in the sample. This method assigns pixels to predefined lifetime clusters, making it highly efficient for distinguishing known fluorophores in complex environments. 🔍🌈 Phasor Separation Method: Best suited for unknown or mixed species, as it allows the identification of distinct lifetime components even when spectral overlap is present. It works by resolving the contributions of multiple fluorophores in a pixel without the need for explicit fitting. 🔴🟢🔵 Pulsed Interleaved Excitation (PIE): Essential when dealing with fluorophores that have overlapping emission spectra but different excitation pathways. By alternating laser pulses at different wavelengths, PIE enhances species separation by exploiting their excitation-specific lifetime signatures. 💡 Check out Figure 4 from: https://lnkd.in/d7_hGFpJ — this is how it's done. 🚀 Ready to push the limits of fluorescence imaging? Let’s connect. #SPAD #FLIM #SuperResolution #PhotonTiming #MultispeciesImaging 

New Project Kickoff Announcement! 🚀 We’re thrilled to have officially started a new project, funded by PhotonHub Europe and in collaboration with the team at VTT! This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Aki Mäyrä and Samuli Maronen from VTT. It was fantastic to have them back for productive discussions (and for some well-deserved fun over dinner! 🍽️😄). We are looking forward to the next steps, as this project will bring exciting innovations to PRISM, our Photon-Resolved Microscope. Soon, PRISM will be equipped with new features, unlocking greater versatility and new illumination capabilities. Stay tuned!🔬✨ #PhotonHub #GenoaInstruments #PRISM #PhotonResolvedMicroscopy #Innovation #DeepTech

Look who’s at #BPS2025 in LA! Huge thanks to the Cephla team for hosting our flyers at the event 🙏💜 We highly recommend stopping by their booth #422—and as a bonus, you might run into Paolo Bianchini around the conference!
