100X Imaging builds advanced image automation software with applications in the Life Sciences. Automated imaging is a rapidly evolving and expanding component field of Life Science research. Software technology is essential for image acquisition and coordinating various robotic hardware in modern scientific grade microscopes. Automated microscopes are also used in other fields such as material science, industrial inspection and robotics.100X Imaging's business model differs dramatically from existing companies because it supports and develops Open Source software. This approach removes many obstacles that scientists from the academic and private sector face with proprietary software.We believe that software for automated imaging can be deployed at lower cost and with increased transparency and reliability. 100X Imaging develops advanced, custom software solutions based on the existing open source platform micro-manager and on its extensive in-house expertise in many diverse areas of automated imaging.
