We Shrink Optics 1,000x.
Then We See What Sound Cannot.
Near-infrared optical imaging, miniaturized to fit inside a 21G needle. Microstructure-level detail at the moment of biopsy.
Seeing is Believing. Hearing Is Just an Echo.
Radial ultrasound has been the standard for imaging the lung periphery for decades. But the probe has to come out to make room for the biopsy tool, so the physician samples without a live image.
Near-infrared light is different. It resolves tissue microstructure, and it fits inside the tool itself. With LIA™, imaging and sampling are one continuous workflow, with a real-time tool-in-lesion view.
This is why we built our optics platform around light, not sound.
10×
More than 10× the resolution of radial ultrasound.*
*Data on file
The smallest imaging system ever built for the lung.
Our optical engine is built on metasurface technology, engineered at the nanoscale to perform at the clinical scale.
1,000x Smaller
Meta-surface micro-optics achieve what conventional lenses cannot, full imaging capability in a 21G needle profile.
Chip-Compatible Manufacturing
Made with CMOS-compatible semiconductor processes, yielding tens of thousands of identical lenses per wafer. That brings reproducibility and cost that conventional micro-optics cannot match.

From Imaging to Decision Support
The LIA™ imaging engine generates real-time optical data that can be labeled and used to train decision support software.
The roadmap runs from imaging to decision support: from showing physicians where the tool is, to software that helps them review what they see.
