Xfold imaging produces microscope slides containing advanced nanostructures on the top surface. These nanostructures enhance microscope images especially when using laser/LED excitation, like fluorescence imaging. Xfold imaging’s innovative solution enables the study of cellular structures and bio-molecules (fats, lipids, proteins, etc.) at enhanced accuracy and enables real-time video imaging of live cells.
