FLIM imaging, made faster, more precise, and more robust through the development of a photon-counting system for live visualization of cellular processes.

Achieved together with OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences and the Universität Zürich, and we are proud to participate in this breakthrough.

Watch the interview (in German), including insights from Lukas Krainer, our CEO.

Making cellular activity in living organisms visible with precision and in real time was long considered nearly impossible. An interdisciplinary research team from the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST), the University of Zurich, and Prospective Instruments has developed a phot...

We’re excited to announce a new collaboration between the Hiiragi Group, the Prevedel Group, and Prospective Instruments. Together, we are developing an innovative intravital multiphoton microscopy platform to study one of the most fascinating and least understood stages of mammalian development: early embryo implantation.

This collaboration brings together two leading scientists, Prof. Takashi Hiiragi and Dr. Robert Prevedel, along with Dr. Lukas Krainer, CEO of Prospective Instruments, whose team provides the advanced imaging technology enabling this new platform.

By integrating multiphoton microscopy with high-resolution spectral-domain OCT, this project aims to open a new window into the dynamic interaction between embryo and uterus.
