Electron Microscopy (EM) is a prime tool for high-resolution imaging, which has been the cornerstone of our understanding of living organisms and our material environment.
Because EM requires samples to be placed in a vacuum, it does not lend itself for use with wet samples. In the 50 years since its development, this drawback has been a major impediment in the use of EM for biomedical research, and for many clinical and industrial applications.
Light Microscopy, on the other hand, requires only minimal sample preparation. However, the resolution of light microscopy is limited to a few hundreds nanometers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The revolutionary technology of QuantomiX solves the problem of preparing wet samples for high-resolution imaging. It closes the resolution gap between conventional electron microscopy and light microscopy and offers the convenient sample preparation of light microscopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first time, rapid and routine EM imaging of biological samples in a wet environment is now possible without the artifacts normally associated with sample preparation.
