DMetrix is developing innovative microscopic-imaging instrumentation that naturally integrates advances in optical design, digital imaging, telecommunications, and bioinformatics. DMetrix instrumentation is designed to standardize telepathology and other applications in which ultra-rapid acquisition of wavelength-of-light resolution and large-format image data are fundamental enabling capabilities. The company has developed a novel, patent imaging technology that results in a minimum ten-fold acceleration in the rate of microscopy image-data acquisition relative to competing technologies. The founders of DMetrix bring together complementary expertise in optics, electronics, instrumentation development, digital image analysis, pathology, and telepathology. The company's technology has applications in digital pathology and life sciences.
