Phasefocus brings to multiple markets a range of products and services based on its proprietary Phasefocus Virtual Lens® – a disruptive technology that is revolutionising the performance of imaging instrumentation and bringing new user value to a wide range of analytical applications from label-free cell imaging and quantitative electron phase microscopy to ophthalmic lens metrology and beyond.

The Virtual Lens enables new applications and novel analytical capabilities in markets as diverse as life sciences and engineering metrology, and in multiple wavelength regimes – visible light, X-ray, electron, and more. By transferring the task of image formation from hardware components to a computer programme, geometric restrictions and image infidelities imposed by imperfect physical focussing devices can be eliminated. Moreover, information-rich phase data lost by conventional detectors that are sensitive only to illumination intensity is recovered.

The Phasefocus Virtual Lens enables observation and analysis of materials, processes and products at the nano scale in new ways, and with unprecedented clarity and accuracy.
