Instant Imaging Technology
Let There Be Light
Based in the idyllic college town of Storrs, Connecticut, Instant Imaging Technology LLC was founded in 2015 after two UConn researchers received support from Connecticut Innovations to further develop and optimize a gigapixel microscopy platform.
Since then, Instant Imaging Technology has expanded its focus to provide consulting services and develop innovative imaging solutions across a broad range of microscopy and biomedical imaging applications. We work with life science research laboratories, pathology and cytology groups, academic institutions, and industry partners to address technical challenges in imaging system design, performance optimization, instrumentation, and related applications.
We are committed to combining extensive consulting experience, advanced imaging techniques, and practical hardware expertise to develop solutions tailored to the specific needs of each project.
