Phaseform, a spin-off from the University of Freiburg, is developing a groundbreaking new class of optical devices called Deformable Phase Plates (DPPs). Our technology represents a significant leap forward in what optical systems can accomplish by enabling imaging systems to follow dynamic changes in the sample or medium for the best possible imaging performance. Our vision is to harness the potential of adaptive optics for microscopy and medical imaging, empowering all instruments in these fields to operate at their physical limit in terms of detail and clarity.
