Start-ups sometimes struggle to source funding, develop a product and secure a market, but Living Optics seems to have found itself on something of a fast-track. 

Launching at Photonics West 2024, the company had spent the pandemic fine-tuning its idea and coming up with something truly innovative. There are now three core pillars to the Living Optics proposition: spectral imaging at video speeds; an all-in-one solution (its portable cameras have the compute power and tools to capture and analyse spatial-spectral information) and a solution that is developer-ready.
