Lyncée Tec SA, based in Lausane, Switzerland, combines for the first time in microscopy nanometre resolution, real time and non-invasive 3D observations. Its instruments,used for R&D, process engineering and quality control in manufacturing environments are based on a revolutionary patented technology called "Digital Holographic Microscopy" (DHM).

The DHM family of instrument is composed by  

• The DHM R1000, a reflection configuration microscope, suitable for totally and partially reflecting objects (down to 1% reflectivity). Its very low sensitivity to environmental vibrations makes it the ideal tool for rapid inspection and accurate surface topography measurements on a very large variety of samples. It is especially well adapted for dynamical characterization of MEMS and MOEMS and for surface topography in optics, nanotechnology, and semiconductor industry.
• The DHM T1000, a transmission configuration microscope, suitable for transparent or semi-transparent samples.

  In this configuration, it does not only provide information about the specimen surface, but it is also capable of detecting structures located inside the material. It is used not only in Material Sciences, for shape measurements of micro optic components, but also in Life Science for lab on chip characterization, for diagnostic, and for real time monitoring of cell morphology, without any contrast agent, for instance in cardiology, neuroscience, and immunology.

Lyncée Tec and Nano2Life

To remain the leading company in the development of DHM, to improve continuously their simplicity-of-use and accuracy, to extend their application range and to provide excellence in quality, Lyncée need to maintain a strong synergy with researchers, to support high technological and analytical academic projects and to transfer scientific development to practical industrial applications. Nano2Life provides in this respect an ideal network.
