Clair Scientific is a Denmark-based technology company specializing in compact, automated optical microscopy solutions. Founded in 2020 as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark, the company focuses on democratizing advanced imaging technologies by making them more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly for researchers and biotech teams.
Its flagship product, the Z1 microscope, integrates patented Wavefront Angle Retrieval Processing (WARP) optics with a fully automated imaging system. The device is housed in a self-contained unit with a touchscreen interface, requiring no external computer or complex setup, and is designed to operate in standard lab environments or incubators.
WARP technology enables the Z1 to capture detailed optical data across multiple modalities—including phase contrast, DIC, bright-field, and 3D mapping—without relying on additional filters or illumination systems. This allows for greater visibility of fine, low-contrast biological structures.
The system supports a wide range of high-throughput workflows, including multi-well plate scanning, time-lapse imaging, Z-stacking, and programmable macros. A REST API is also available for full automation, remote access, and integration into custom laboratory pipelines. Users can further adapt the system using 3D-printable, open-source hardware extensions.
Clair Scientific’s approach combines precision hardware, intuitive software, and modern connectivity to empower smaller labs, startups, and academic institutions that traditionally face barriers to adopting high-performance microscopy.
