Northern Light Microscopy develops the AMIS (Advanced Modular Imaging System), a compact benchtop microscope that combines a proprietary micro-optical light engine with structured illumination to deliver up to eight advanced imaging modes. The AMIS is designed to offer high-throughput and super-resolution imaging across a range of magnifications and illumination wavelengths while integrating into existing lab workflows without protocol changes. The company says the AMIS has outperformed established, significantly more expensive systems in direct comparison studies. Northern Light is also developing LINK imaging software and plans additional hardware modules to expand its product line. The business was founded by Dr Peter Tinning (CEO) and Dr Ralf Bauer (CTO), is supported by Non-Executive Chair Colin Roberts, and is commercialising its technology from Glasgow with regulatory targets and first sales planned ahead of international expansion from 2027.
