Background
COMPANY

Genoa Instruments

We care about imaging (re)solutions.

At Genoa Instruments, we are committed to advancing the field of super-resolution microscopy and improving scientific research through our innovative technology. The market for PRISM is significant and growing, with strong demand from biomedical research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and academic labs. Our business is centered on selling and leasing microscopes while offering associated services, such as training and technical support. We strongly believe that Genoa Instruments is poised for significant growth in the next-future and we have already secured funding from top-tier italian investors. With our cutting-edge technology, talented team, and strong market potential, we want to become a leader in the field of super-resolution optical microscopy.

After 10 years of academic research on new microscopy techniques, detectors, and image processing algorithms, Genoa Instruments aims to spread super-resolution live cell imaging combined with time-resolved spectroscopy to all research laboratories.

The company will commercialize a new confocal microscope based on Image Scanning Microscopy. Our microscope will be highly affordable and platform independent, allowing for tailored solutions as well as for the upgrade of existing widefield and confocal microscopes.

Our innovative super-resolution microscope will constitute a new paradigm in the field of optical microscopy, potentially establishing as the next generation confocal microscope.
