NANO 3D
New generation optical microscopy
Project description
This project involves the development of a 3D interferometric microscope offering a breakthrough resolution through the application of the photonic jet.
The global microscopy market is now growing rapidly, driven by the increasing miniaturization of technologies and processes.
The Nano3D project is part of an advantageous positioning since it would allow to multiply by 4 the resolution of conventional interferometric microscopy (or 3D profilometry) without increasing the cost.
Indeed, technologies that are not based on optics make it possible to achieve higher resolutions, but their complexity of implementation (preparation of the support, implementation of observation, slow surface analysis...) considerably limits their adoption.
Why does Conectus invest in this project?
Conectus' financial investment will make it possible to build an industrial representative demonstrator of 3D interferometric nanoscopes.
At the origin of the project:
Paul Montgomery from ICube laboratory (Unistra-CNRS)
Focus
Conectus is investing in this project: €334,000
Duration: 18 months
