Why OPAL

Realtime intraoperative imaging without freezing

Evaluate surgical margins or sampled tissue in realtime without freezing and sectioning. We replace that with Deep UV Light to directly image the superficial layer of fresh-cut tissue. The result is a beautiful image without freezing artifacts, allowing for unfettered interpretation and quick, accurate, judgement.

Streamlined workflows

Parallel processing

Our microscope greatly optimizes your workflow by reducing the complexity of preparation. This saves you up to 10 min per image taken, especially if the microscope is placed in the OT and you connect to it remotely.

Prepare samples without specially-trained pathology technicians. Our stains are engineered to work well over broad times and temperatures and requires no special handling. Samples are mounted in easy-to-use cassettes using only basic tissue-handling techniques. This can be done by regular nurses (with only a little extra training.)
Tissue preparation in parallel saves time processing batches. Staining and mounting is not limited by a specialty machine. When the surgical team sends you many sections at once, you can easily process them in parallel.

Best-in-class remote pathology suite

Deliver accurate and quick diagnoses without being in the same room as the sample.

Our microscope fits anywhere, with a footprint of only 30×30 cm, and 60cm vertical clearance. Our microscope can be placed in the OT itself, in a closet down the hall, in a biosafety cabinet, or even in the trunk of a car.
Log in from anywhere and interact with samples as though you are in front of them. Whether you are down the hall, in a different building, or even at home, you can operate our microscope through a web browser.
