How LIG Nanowise Developed the World's Most Powerful Optical Microscope

Discover how Manchester-based startup LIG Nanowise is revolutionising scientific imaging with their innovative microsphere technology.

In this customer story, learn about their flagship product, the Nanopsis, which effectively serves as the world's most powerful wide-field optical microscope in terms of resolution. By amplifying light in the invisible spectrum, this technology creates a virtual image that allows researchers to see super-resolution structures using even the most basic imaging setups.

Hear about their vision to put super-resolution at the forefront of research, allowing scientists to validate samples in real-time rather than waiting days or weeks for results. Rather than replacing existing systems, their goal is to synergise with them to make research quicker and cheaper.

Originating from ideas shared by colleagues at the University of Manchester, the company moved into Manchester Science Park after securing VC funding. Find out how having a "blank slate" to customise their lab equipment and access superb facilities has been critical to their development, allowing the team to expand from just one or two employees to a growing team of seven. The founders also highlight the invaluable support they receive on-site, from introductions to local investors and recruiters to the incredible collaborative ecosystem where even walking down to the kitchen can result in an exciting new partnership.

Key takeaways in this video:

- The development of the Nanopsis microscope, which uses microsphere technology to deliver real-time, super-resolution imaging.
- Making scientific investigation quicker and cheaper by allowing researchers to validate samples instantly.
- The journey from a University of Manchester spin-out to a growing team fueled by VC funding.
- How the customisable lab space, business support, and organic networking at Manchester Science Park have been critical to their success.
