Abrio™

The Abrio imaging system enables visualization and quantitative measurement of birefringence in unstained samples. Applications in the life sciences include label-free and quantitative imaging of collagen structures in tissue sections, and spindles and cytoskeletal filaments in living cells. Applications in industrial and materials-research applications include assessment of stress and strain in materials such as glass, plastics, optical fibers, and discs. The Abrio system is an easy add-on to existing microscopes and can be combined with other imaging modes.


The Abrio System is available in two models:

  • Abrio LS Abrio LS (Life Sciences) The Abrio LS system enables users in the life sciences to visualize architectural dynamics in living cells and tissue, such as spindles and collagen structures.
  • Abrio LS Abrio IM (Industrial Metrology) The Abrio IM system enables assessment of stress and strain in inorganic materials such as glass, plastics, optical fibers, and discs for industrial and materials-research applications.
