ZernIQ Imaging Technology

Upgrade Your Microscope Into a Quantitative 3D Imaging System

A modular plug-in solution for label-free, non-invasive, real-time cellular imaging — designed for modern research and medical laboratories.

What We Do

We help research and medical laboratories upgrade their existing microscopes into powerful quantitative 3D imaging systems without replacing their current equipment.

Modular Microscope Upgrade

ZernIQ attaches directly to existing optical microscopes, turning them into compact Digital Holographic Microscopy systems with minimal workflow disruption.

Label-Free Imaging

Capture cellular structures without staining, labeling, or physical contact — enabling non-invasive observation for sensitive biological samples.

Quantitative 3D Reconstruction

Reconstruct holograms, phase data, intensity maps, and 1D/2D/3D profiles to gain deeper insight into microscopic structures.

Real-Time Cell Monitoring

Monitor subtle cellular changes and growth dynamics in real time, supporting live-cell compatible research and analysis.

Custom Integration & Calibration

We assess microscope compatibility, configure the module, optimize field of view and resolution, and support smooth lab integration.

Software & Long-Term Support

ZernIQ provides reconstruction and analysis tools, software updates, calibration, and future AI-assisted imaging modules.

Market Opportunity

Digital holographic microscopy is expanding rapidly, creating demand for affordable, modular, label-free 3D imaging solutions.

Technology & Early Proof of Benefits

In our published study, “Detection of the Effect of Nanoparticles on Myelin Figures Growth Using a Compact Digital Holographic Microscope”, we investigated the effect of nanoparticles on the growth of myelin figures formed in phospholipid (lipid) systems.
Using a compact digital holographic microscope, we successfully monitored their growth dynamics in real time and quantitatively measured phase changes without staining or physical contact.
