Installed base
Many labs and imaging cores already own inverted confocal microscopes that could become more capable.
Investor Overview
Peregrine Photon is building a focused catalog: STED modules, custom integrated inverted microscopes, and the workflows that make advanced imaging usable.
Why Now
Super-resolution microscopy has proven scientific value, yet access is still limited by cost, complexity, training burden, sample constraints, and maintenance. Peregrine Photon packages advanced photonics into systems that labs can understand and keep using.
Many labs and imaging cores already own inverted confocal microscopes that could become more capable.
The market needs more than optics: validation, protocols, training, and instrument handoff matter.
Montréal photonics roots and Quantino incubation create a specific base for partners and pilot customers.
Commercial Paths
Peregrine can upgrade an existing microscope, build a complete custom instrument, or sell focused engineering and validation work around a demanding imaging problem.
Repeatable upgrade path for compatible inverted confocal systems. See module.
Higher-value custom systems for method developers, research groups, and core facilities. See instrument.
Optical architecture, calibration, software workflows, validation, and commissioning support.
Documentation, user handoff, protocol guidance, and ongoing support planning.
Defensibility
STED performance is not a component list. It requires know-how across optics, sample prep, dyes, calibration, software, installation, and training.
Designing around real inverted microscope constraints, not idealized optical benches.
Connecting dyes, samples, mounting, controls, and acquisition settings to instrument performance.
Validation images, reference samples, operating procedures, and acceptance criteria.
Custom builds create strong feedback loops that can shape repeatable modules.
Leadership with microscopy, biomedical optics, and research translation context.
Incubation at Quantino adds a visible deep-tech ecosystem signal for partners, grant programs, and investors.
Capital Use
Refine module architecture, controls, calibration, mechanical interfaces, and manufacturable assemblies.
Generate reference data, acceptance tests, compatibility criteria, and performance documentation.
Place systems with early labs or facilities to prove workflow value and support needs.
Build supplier relationships, service process, training materials, and repeatable installation packages.
Traction Template
Add public items here as they become available: pilot partners, sample images, compatibility reviews, grants, early purchase interest, facility conversations, or technical milestones.
This keeps the investor page honest today while making it easy to add evidence without redesigning the site later.
Partnership Opportunities
Teams with a specific imaging problem and a willingness to validate workflow fit.
Shared labs that understand training, maintenance, scheduling, and multi-user instrumentation.
Microscope, optics, software, or sample-prep groups that can strengthen delivery.
Capital aligned with scientific instrumentation, photonics, and commercialization from research roots.
