Evident's Pramana Acquisition Will Combine Clinical Microscopy, Digital Pathology Capabilities






Evident has agreed to acquire Pramana, a manufacturer of whole slide imaging technologies and digital pathology solutions. Terms of the deal have not been announced.

Founded in 2021 by nference, a leader in multimodal and agentic AI innovation, Pramana develops fully autonomous image scanning systems, which are designed for use in hospitals, research facilities, and educational institutions. The systems use volumetric imaging techniques to scan specimens at varying fields of view and combine the images into a single fully focused image. Real-time AI algorithms optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety during the scanning process. According to Pramana, these built-in AI algorithms and automated quality control enable its solution to eliminate up to 70% of manual workflow steps while capturing previously undetectable tissue features, radically improving clinical diagnostics and research.

According to Evident, the acquisition complements and expands its portfolio of technologies to keep pace with daily caseloads, automate quality control, seamlessly integrate data and communication systems, and harness advances in AI-driven imaging and analysis.

Evident formed in April 2022 when Olympus Corporation finalized the separation of its Scientific Solutions business to a wholly-owned subsidiary. Evident completed the sale of it Inspection Technologies division, formerly part of Olympus' Scientific Solutions division, in a $1.78 billion dollar deal last month.

Abrisa Technologies Acquires Agama Glass Technologies

SANTA PAULA, Calif. — Abrisa Technologies, a provider of custom glass optics and thin film coatings and a subsidiary of HEF Photonics, has acquired Agama Glass Technologies, a manufacturer of etched anti-glare glass and technical glass processing. The acquisition, Abrisa said, expands its manufacturing footprint and adds a vertically integrated solution for chemically etched anti-glare display glass. According to Abrisa, Clarksburg, West Virginia-based Agama operates North America’s only high-volume technical glass etching facility. Agama's flagship product, AgamaEtch, is used in high-performance display and optics applications. The company's 85,000 sq ft facility also offers precision glass fabrication, chemical strengthening, and silk-screen printing, serving markets such as avionics, defense, medical, industrial, and touchscreen displays. Combined with Abrisa Technologies’ and HEF Photonics’ thin-film coating and surface engineering capabilities, Agama's offerings wi...

How Biophotonics Is Harnessing Light for Health And Science

Fifty or so years ago French physicist Pierre Aigrain coined the term photonics as a research field whose goal was to use light to perform functions that traditionally fell within the typical domain of electronics, such as telecommunications, and information processing. Or maybe it was John Campbell who, in a letter sent to Gotthard Gunther in 1954, wrote, “Incidentally, I’ve decided to invent a new science — photonics. It bears the same relationship to Optics that electronics does to electrical engineering. Photonics, like electronics, will deal with the individual units; optics and EE deal with the group phenomena! And note that you can do things with electronics that are impossible in electrical engineering!” Naming rights aside, the field of photonics began in earnest between 1958 and 1960 with the invention of the maser and the laser. The laser diode followed during the 1970s, optical fibers and the erbium-doped fiber amplifier after that, and, pretty soon, the telecommunications...

Laser Method Enables Fast & Precise Blood Vessels in Hydrogel

Researchers from Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and Keio University have found a way to create artificial blood vessels in miniature organ models in a quick and reproducible manner. The method utilizes ultrashort laser pulses in the femtosecond range to write highly 3D structures into a hydrogel. In biomedical research, organs-on-a-chip are becoming increasingly important: By cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled microfluidic chips, it is possible to conduct research much more accurately than in experiments involving living humans or animals. However, there has been a major obstacle: such mini-organs are incomplete without blood vessels. To facilitate systematic studies and ensure meaningful comparisons with living organisms, a network of perfusable blood vessels and capillaries must be created — in a way that is precisely controllable and reproducible. “We can create channels spaced only a hundred micrometers apart. That’s essential when you would like to...
