Optics
Our Technology
Fourier Ptychography Microscopy (FPM) is a computational imaging technique that
reconstructs high-resolution images by utilizing three-dimensional information of the base image.
SMALLMACHINES possesses the world's first advanced FPM-based optical technology for bioapplications that does not require fluorescent staining.
