Photon etc’s technology and applications in action

Photon etc.

Photon etc. designs and builds state-of-the-art optical analysis solutions mainly based on a unique hyperspectral imaging patented technology. Its products are divided in four families: hyperspectral microscopic systems, hyperspectral widefield imagers, tunable filters and laser and infrared cameras.

The applications go from live cell imaging to solar cells and include nanotechnology development and industrial sorting. In addition to those systems, the innovative team of Photon etc. is always ready to create custom solutions adapted to the specific needs of its clients.

When Art, Science and Technology Work Hand in Hand

Photon etc. presents this short film shot in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Heller, researcher at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Joseph Cohen, multidisciplinary artist. This short video documents how three experts in their respective fields benefit from and are enhanced by their mutual collaboration. Joseph creates new paint mixtures and textures using carbon nanotubes (CNT). Dr. Heller develops infrared probes and biomarkers using CNT’s. Sébastien (CEO at Photon etc.) develops science grade infrared cameras that can detect fluorescent CNT’s excited by specific wavelengths.

Photon etc.’s Global Imaging Technology

This video shows the conceptual difference between hyperspectral global imaging and raster scan (line scan, pushbroom). With global imaging, only a few monochromatic images are required to obtain a hyperspectral cube of data (X-Y spatial, Z spectral). With raster scan technologies, a spectrum needs to be acquired on each point/line within the desired field of view.

In Vivo NIR-II Imaging: Contact-Free Monitoring Heartbeat & Respiratory Rate

High-speed imaging made available by the fast frame rates of InGaAs cameras allows for contact-free cardiography and respiratory rate measurements in both anesthetized and awake animals. Such contact-free measurements of awake mice obtained without the use of any restraining device could drastically change studies procedures in labs.

Real-Time Biodistribution and Pharmacokinetics of ICG in a Mouse Using NIR-II Fluorescence

Video of IR VIVO imaging experiment showing the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of ICG in real time. IR VIVO is able to visualize NIR probes at high resolutions. From one single injection, it was possible to obtain measurements of heartbeats, respiration and intestinal contraction rates.

In Vivo NIR-II Imaging of Liver Metabolism, Hepatobiliary Elimination & Gastro-Intestinal Motility

With a simple tail-vein injection of ICG, we can study liver metabolism, measure hepatobiliary elimination and monitor gastrointestinal motility simultaneously in vivo and contact-free. Such a straightforward method to image the intestine could help research on metabolic diseases.

From solar cells to live cell imaging, this global hyperspectral microscope, IMA, rapidly provides spectrally and spatially resolved maps in the VIS, NIR and SWIR ranges. Hyperspectral fluorescence, photoluminescence, electroluminescence, reflectance and transmittance measurements can be obtained. Darkfield and brightfield modalities are available.

Photovoltaic Analysis Made Simple : PLQY and QFLS Mapping in Minutes

With the rise of new photovoltaic materials, relying on PLQY mapping alone is no longer enough to evaluate performance. Using data acquired by IMA hyperspectral microscope, our new software module lets you generate essential photovoltaic characterization maps: PLQY, QFLS, and Eg in just a few clicks for deeper, more accurate insights.

Whether you’re just getting started or deep into materials optimization, this tool is fast, reliable, and ready to plug into your solar research workflow.
