About the Company

ONI

Desktop super-resolution microscope for single molecules

ONI makes and sells high-end microscopes for life sciences, including the Nanoimager desktop super-resolution microscope and the Aplo Scope. Its products let researchers visualize and track single molecules in living cells using direct STORM (dSTORM) imaging at about 20 nanometer resolution. The Nanoimager is designed to be compact and easy to use, while the Aplo Scope combines high-power single-molecule localization with low-power live-cell imaging for broader experiments. Compared with competitors, ONI emphasizes a ready-to-use desktop instrument with straightforward operation, bundled consumables and services, and a focus on single-molecule imaging in biology, virology, and immunology. The company aims to make high-resolution, molecule-level imaging accessible to a wide range of academic and industrial researchers, enabling detailed study of cellular processes and interactions.
