Resolution Optics redefines success

HALIFAX, NS, February 10, 2012 – A local biotech company has its sights set on success. Resolution Optics, a developer and manufacturer of holographic microscopes, was awarded a Canadian Innovation Commercialization Program (CICP) grant by the Government of Canada in early January and is pleased to announce a significant infusion of funding from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) this week.

The CICP grant, along with the support from ACOA, opens up new markets not previously available, both on the domestic and international fronts.

With aggressive sales targets and a growing team, the company is looking forward to the upcoming year. The company is also looking forward to relocating to a new home in the coming months and is launching a new website this week.

The Resolution Optics Submersible System is a compact holographic microscope designed for imaging submerged micro-organisms at depths up to 5 km.“

Ms. Wood gratefully acknowledges the support of the NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program, Economic and Rural Development and Tourism, ACOA, and NSBI. “We are lucky to live in a province where support for small business is so outstanding,” says Wood, “their strategic partnership has been invaluable to us.”

Resolution Optics develops and manufactures an award winning line of digital holographic microscopes which includes a desktop, attachment and a submersible unit along with proprietary reconstruction software.
