Core capability

Sensing, actuation and decision-making in one deterministic loop

Applied across life science, medicine and quantum sensing.

By bridging high-resolution multi-modal optical sensing with deterministic field steering and real-time hardware execution, ACUITYnano closes the gap between observation and action.

The architecture

Three capabilities, engineered as one system rather than bolted together.

01 · Sense

Multi-modal sensing

High-resolution optical, vision-based and multi-modal sensing of live micro- and nanoscale targets — from 4D light-sheet imaging to label-free cell morphology.

02 · Decide

Edge decision engines

Proprietary real-time control on FPGA and embedded hardware, with nanosecond-level synchronization and deterministic latency.

03 · Act

Deterministic actuation

Action-at-a-distance steering with electric, fluidic, photonic and magnetic fields — gentle, contact-free and precise.

Systems Engineering & R&D Advisory

We partner with research institutes and deep-tech companies to architect closed-loop sensing and actuation solutions for demanding physical constraints.

Core focus areas

  • Real-time image-guided feedback and computer vision
  • Deterministic field steering (electrokinetic, fluidic, magnetic)
  • Edge control engines and embedded physical AI
  • Microfluidics and high-content bioanalytics
  • Autonomous cell culture and spaceflight instrumentation

We close the loop between observation and action, enabling non-destructive manipulation of nanoscale matter and living cells on-chip.

Instrument & Product Development

We engineer end-to-end closed-loop instruments — from physics modeling and algorithm design to hardware-in-the-loop prototypes and deployable systems.

Whether for novel optical diagnostics or autonomous microfluidic platforms, we co-design sensing, field generation, and deterministic control as one unified system.
