Specto Photonics: Breaking the Wall to Mechanobiology
Specto Photonics is an Italian deep-tech start-up aiming to commercialize miniaturized spectrometers for Brillouin spectroscopy using Silicon Photonics. Brillouin Spectroscopy allows all-optical measurement of the material mechanical properties, such as stiffness and viscosity, in a non-destructive manner, at high optical resolution and without the need for physical contact.
Specto’s flagship product, ElastiX, will provide significant advantages in terms of ease of use, portability, production costs, and performance. These competitive advantages will provide unprecedented capabilities for the life sciences, chemistry, and material science sectors while leveraging Brillouin spectroscopy in medical diagnostics.
Their core team comprises recognized pioneers in Brillouin spectroscopy with proven scientific excellence, making them the most skilled and balanced team to accomplish the ambitious goal of turning Brillouin spectrometers into an everyday-use measurement apparatus.
