Label-free Intermerometric Imaging (LIM)
Our technology is based on a patented common-path differential interferometer and is built with consumer electronic components.
Together with our proprietary software algorithms, shinephi allows ultra-sensitive imaging of micro and nanostructures in transparent electronics and optical elements, as well as live cells.
shinephi performs with an exceptional stability against environmental changes, is compact and highly compatible, to meet the requirements of most sensitive imaging applications in material and life sciences.
