Anchored in many years of years EMS design and fabrication experience, AdvancedMEMS develop MEMS based solutions for bio-photonic imaging applications and provide MEMS as well as electronics R&D solutions. During those early years, the firm's principals collaborated with Beckman Laser Institute and UCI Medical Center, to pioneer the field of clinical 3-D MEMS based Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The emphasis conuntes to develop new, enabling technologies, allowing biophotonic technologies to reach their full potential in medicine and other fields. As a primary focus of AdvancedMEMS. OCT allows high resolution, non-destructive cross sectional imaging of tissue in real-time. This emerging imaging modality was invented in the early 1990s and initially commercialized for high-resolution imaging in optometry. Many researchers have recognized the potential of OCT to provide "optical biopsies" in clinical applications, the primary obstacle is the realization of miniature, high quality scanning probes for accessing internal tissue and organs. AdvancedMEMS' technology provides the solution.
