Inscoper is a low‑latency acquisition platform for fluorescence microscopy that directly controls microscopes and all attached devices, eliminating software‑induced delays and enabling up to three times faster frame rates. Its hardware‑agnostic design integrates any third‑party or custom equipment with synchronized triggering for jitter‑free, repeatable experiments, while a mobile‑app‑style UI streamlines complex live‑cell imaging workflows.

Problem
Fluorescence microscopy workflows often suffer from slow image acquisition due to software latency, complex setup of third‑party hardware, and difficulty reproducing identical imaging conditions across experiments. These limitations reduce throughput, increase user workload, and compromise the temporal resolution needed for live‑cell studies.
Solution
Inscoper provides a low‑latency acquisition platform that directly controls microscopes and all attached devices, eliminating software‑induced delays and enabling up to three times faster frame rates. The system integrates any third‑party hardware, including custom‑built components, through minimal protocol documentation, ensuring full synchronization of camera triggers and device commands for jitter‑free, repeatable experiments. Its user interface follows a mobile‑app style with a flat, menu‑free layout, allowing researchers to focus on biological questions rather than instrument configuration. By combining multiple imaging modalities (e.g., SPIM, FRAP, high‑content screening) across spatial and temporal dimensions, Inscoper streamlines complex live‑cell imaging protocols and improves data quality.
Target Audience
Primary customers are research laboratories, imaging core facilities, and biotech teams that perform live‑cell fluorescence microscopy and require high‑throughput, reproducible image acquisition.
