SPECTROSCOPY SOLUTIONS

FOR MECHANOBIOLOGY

About
Specto photonics

Our ambition is to make Brillouin Spectroscopy accessible to everyone

To accomplish this goal, Specto Photonics develops groundbreaking solutions that revolutionize the way to optically retrieve fundamental viscoelastic properties of materials with three-dimensional micron-scale spatial resolution.

Why
it matters

Unlock the Power of Mechanobiology

Mechanobiology explores how mechanical forces and viscoelastic properties shape biological functions. Accessing this mechanical information is vital, as changes in cell and tissue viscoelasticity are often early indicators of disease. Yet, today’s technologies rely on physical contact with the sample, limiting their ability to reveal 3D mechanical insights.

Our solutions

Specto’s groundbreaking solutions include ultra-compact on-chip spectrometers and high-rejection optical filters. 

Our modules provide effortless integration into standard microscopes and analytical instruments, extending their capabilities with all-optical and three-dimensional mechanical investigation.
