The Q-Phase microscope is a specialized holographic microscope that allows for gentle imaging of living cells without the need for labeling. It uses unique and patented technology that allows researchers to gather quantitative data about their cells. Each captured holographic image translates directly into quantitative data points, enabling precise statistical analysis of cell characteristics. The Q-Phase microscope was installed at the end of April in its most advanced configuration. The system accommodates multiple studies simultaneously, providing extensive capabilities for various research conditions.

The extensive number of applications that can be covered with this microscope covers and allows its usage in various fields of biomedical research, oncology, neurology, and fundamental biological investigations. It plays a pivotal role in enhancing the depth and precision of critical studies such as stem cell research, innovative approaches to cancer treatment, and investigations into the cell death processes. By providing detailed, quantitative data, the microscope empowers scientists to achieve a more nuanced understanding of cellular behaviors and interactions, paving the way for groundbreaking medical and scientific breakthroughs.

"Our installation at the Xiangtan University signifies our commitment to enhancing scientific research capabilities globally. We anticipate this collaboration will further stimulate interest among Chinese academic and research institutions in Czech microscopy technologies, which rank among the absolute best in the world." said Petr Jaroš, CEO of Telight.

The team of Professor Li Feng and Dr. Wu Jianjian from the university plan to utilize the Q-Phase system extensively in their investigations into single-cell morphodynamics, focusing particularly on dynamic changes during apoptosis (cell death), employing the advanced label-free quantitative imaging technology provided by the microscope.

Telights instruments are globally recognized, with installations at leading research centers such as the Jacques Monod Institute and Pasteur Institute in Paris, the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, the University of Crete in Heraklion or the prestigious University of Warwick in the UK. Telight aims to strengthen international research collaborations, bridging the gap between European and Asian scientific communities, using Xiangtan University as a pivotal reference site and collaboration hub for researchers from a similar field. Advancing science and exploring the unsees is embedded in their core values.
