Phase Focus Ltd., based in Sheffield, UK, is bringing to market a novel software algorithm (the Phase Focus Virtual Lens®) that is expected to revolutionise microscopy.

By eliminating the need for conventional focussing devices, the Virtual Lens enables new applications and novel analytical capabilities in markets as diverse as life sciences and semiconductor process control, and in multiple wavelength regimes – visible light, X-ray, electron, and more.

Via collaborations with leading analytical equipment vendors Phase Focus is integrating the Virtual Lens into both existing products, as well as into completely new microscopy instruments, to bring a wealth of new analytical tools to bear in all corners of the nanotechnology industry.

The Virtual Lens technology is being augmented and improved continuously via Phase Focus’s own internal research and development activities, and also via the company’s close collaboration with the University of Sheffield’s Ultimate Microscopy research programme which is directed by the company’s Chief Scientific Officer, Professor John Rodenburg.

The Phase Focus Virtual Lens enables the observation and analysis of materials, processes and products in new ways and with unprecedented clarity and accuracy.
