Here is the list of top Optical Microscope Startups

1. ONI

Biotechnology company specializing in super-resolution microscopy systems. These instruments utilize single molecule localization techniques to visualize biological structures at the nanoscale. The product line includes benchtop microscopes capable of various imaging modalities such as dSTORM, PALM, and DNA-PAINT. These systems support applications in cell biology, microbiology, and nanoparticle characterization. The hardware integrates with cloud-based software platforms designed for data analysis, clustering, and collaborative research. Additionally, the company provides reagents and kits to facilitate sample labeling and preparation for high-precision imaging workflows.

Key facts about ONI

Developer of light-sheet microscopy systems for multiple business verticals. It offers products for neuroscience, developmental biology, cancer biology, regenerative medicine, and other biosciences verticals. Its product range includes low-end IR to the high-end IR spectrum. They were awarded the IOP innovation award in 2015. Applications range from optical metrology to non-destructive testing.

Key facts about M Squared

Provider of hyperspectral optical microscopes for surface analysis. It offers a personalized device for the measurement and characterization of biomolecular interactions. Its surface plasmon resonance sensor enables interactions between proteins, antibodies, DNA, RNA, peptides, polymers, and more to be studied with nanoscale resolution.
