Every Molecule Counts – Now on Your Benchtop

ONI

 

Break the diffraction limit and visualize biology at ≤15 nm resolution with compact, powerful super-resolution systems from ONI.

About ONI

Oxford Nanoimaging (ONI) is a globally recognized innovator in single-molecule and super-resolution microscopy, headquartered in the UK.

Founded with a mission to democratize nanoscale imaging, ONI has transformed traditionally complex and infrastructure-heavy microscopy into compact, automated, and accessible benchtop systems.

Their platforms enable researchers to visualize, track, and quantify individual molecules in cells, tissues, nanoparticles, and biological systems.

Technology Overview

ONI systems are built on Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM), enabling resolution far beyond conventional microscopy.

ONI Product Range:

  • Aplo Scope:- High-throughput, multicolor super-resolution microscope with ≤15 nm resolution, 110 × 110 µm homogeneous FOV, and seamless switching between live-cell and super-resolution modes.
  • Nanoimager:- The world’s first compact benchtop super-resolution microscope (≤20 nm resolution) for fixed/live-cell imaging with multiple imaging modes.
  • Aplo Flow:- – Automated sample preparation and liquid-handling platform for ONI workflows, reducing hands-on time by up to 85%
  • CODI Software: – Cloud-based collaborative analysis, storage, and sharing platform for single-molecule imaging data.
  • ONI Kits: – Ready-to-use reagent kits for dSTORM training, EV profiling, and custom biomarker studies.
