Biomedical Technology
Developing solutions to improve human health
PSI ophthalmic instrumentation takes advantage of the novel characteristics of semiconductor light sources and optical design to enable measurement techniques such as laser scanning microscopy, optical coherence tomography and adaptive optics to diagnose diseases of the cornea and retina. We invent new instrumentation combining multiple measurement modalities to provide clinicians with advanced tools for imaging human and small animal eyes with a high degree of spatial sensitivity, enabling early detection of glaucoma, macular degeneration and other eye diseases. Our R&D and product development focus captures opportunities in the rapidly growing multimodal adaptive optics imaging market leading to clinical translation through our academic and medical collaborators.
