We have just wrapped up an inspiring visit to ICFO, the Institute of Photonic Sciences, in Barcelona. As one of Europe’s leading research centers in photonics, ICFO plays a key role in advancing light-based science and technologies, with strong impact across fields like biophotonics, quantum optics, and imaging.

During our visit, we had the chance to explore ICFO’s cutting-edge labs and connect with researchers — and we were also excited to host a live exhibit for the ICFOnian community.

What we brought to the floor:

PHI — plug-and-play adaptive optics for microscopes, mounted directly on the camera port. Live demo on a widefield fluorescence microscope: AO made simple.

Phinden — sensorless AO software. Image-based aberration correction with a clean GUI. No wavefront sensor. Just a few clicks.

Delta 7 (10 and 20 mm) — refractive wavefront modulators. Compact. Factory-calibrated. No hysteresis. True open-loop performance. Built to integrate fast.

A big thank you to ICFO for hosting us and to everyone who joined the discussions and demos. We look forward to exploring future collaboration opportunities together.

The Phaseform exhibit in the ICFO foyer: a screen with the product overview, the demo table with a microscope and PHI under the Phaseform banner, a poster, and visitors in conversation at the stand.
