Tomocube tomographic microscope

Description

Tomocube is an advanced microscope utilizing 3D holotomography (HT) technology, which combines holography and tomography to recreate a three-dimensional map of the refractive index (3D RI tomogram) of living cells and tissues. This technique enables non-invasive, label-free imaging of cells in real time, providing detailed data on morphology and intracellular structures such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and lipid droplets.
