Markets
- Anatomic Pathology
ChemImage’s Raman Molecular Imaging (RMI) approach enables objective assessment of tissues and cells without the use of stains or reagents.
- Apoptosis
Currently available methods to detect and evaluate normal and abnormal cell death, apoptosis, depend on sophisticated reagents that mark the presence or absence of specific molecules in the cells.
- Digital Pathology
Accurate interpretation of pathology specimens can be very challenging for a number of tissue and disease types. Traditional pathological evaluation of tissues and cells is a relatively subjective evaluation of spatially complex stained tissue samples.
- Fluorescence Imaging
Fluorescence spectral images are acquired from fluorescent samples illuminated by an appropriate light source. Images are taken with either a microscope or a stand-off macroscope.
- Kidney Cancer
ChemImage’s Raman Molecular Imaging (RMI) approach enables differentiation between benign and malignant tissues which, using standard methods, appear to be the same.
- Prostate Cancer
ChemImage’s Raman Molecular Imaging (RMI) approach enables the discrimination of samples from patients who go on to develop aggressive metastatic disease from those who do not. This can help surgeons and oncologists develop more accurate treatment protocols.

Technology
ChemImage imaging technology develops patented, liquid crystal-based Multi-conjugate Filters (MCF) as a key technology for hyperspectral imaging sensors that touch all lines of business.
The MCF is a tunable optical filter comprised of stages of liquid crystal cells, polarizers and retarders. It is electronically controlled and designed to transmit one specific selected wavelength of light at a time. In operation, it can be tuned in small increments over a series of wavelengths. Functioning as image spectrometers, IMT products are utilized in commercially available ChemImage hyperspectral imaging instrumentation. This non-destructive technology enables users to discover correlations between the performance of a product, material compositions and stability criteria in real time information.
Our technology is currently used by forensic scientists, contract research organizations, pharmaceutical developers, medical researchers, and across the US Government to further discovery in forensics, anatomic pathology,pharmaceuticals and threat detection.
