MODI
Modular Object Detection and Imaging (MODI) is a laboratory device with robust applications spanning industries including manufacturing, R&D, academia, bioengineering, defense, and more. Currently MODI instruments are being used for advanced research as well as automated inspection in manufacturing with rigorous quality control requirements.
Join us on our journey to revolutionize advanced imaging tools and facilitate mainstream adoption!
Digital Microscopy
Digital Microscope
Digital microscopy uses lenses and a camera sensor rather than optics tuned for the human eye. While traditional microscopy has been a standard tool for centuries, the digital microscope has only been around for ~30 years and is not widely adopted.
Digital microscopy has the benefit of traceability in the form of captured images, with a compact format that can be used for scanning. The current market for scanning automated digital microscopy is extremely narrow and cost inhibitive.
Automated Digital Microscopy
Microscopes, but smart, automated, and more capable!
Automated digital microscopes support easy operation and scanning of different samples. MODI will scan parts while automatically performing focusing, through-focus imaging, image stitching, and advanced software analytics to provide quantitative results.
Optics components on MODI sample stage for inspection
Arrange multiple objects and let MODI take care of the rest. No need to move samples on your own to image different regions, no need to switch out items to image a large batch.
No knobs. No manual adjustment.

Spectral Imaging
Spectral "Data Cube"
Multi-Spectral Imaging (MSI) is the ability to capture imagery in multiple specific color (or wavelength) bands, often in the infrared beyond the sensitivity of human vision.
MSI devices can perform chemical analysis and measure quantitative properties such as water content and material composition or purity.

Sensors and Accessories
1. Configurable Spectral Imaging Module
The GeoPulse spectral imaging module is the heart and soul of our MODI product, which is also sold separately. Various flavors of detector boards are easily exchanged to provided different spectral sensitivities such as thermopiles, silicon photodiodes, InGaAs photodiodes, or even TEC cooled detectors. Optics in the lens tube can also be easily exchanged in this modular design.
2. Focused Broadband Reflector Source

Lower Middle: MODI illuminator intensity profile
Lower Right: Thorlabs QTH10 illuminator for comparison
This GeoPulse illumination source is a reflector with a polished parabolic face providing condensed illumination. The simple and elegant design uses commonly available automative bulbs to provide full-spectrum illumination (UV to IR). The signal provided exceeds common and more expensive sources in the market.
3. Configurable LED Illuminator
GeoPulse LED illuminator configured with multi-color narrowband LEDs. Two LEDs imaged through an IR night scope are emitting at a wavelength of 910nm.
Our home brewed LED Illuminator and driver electronics supports up to 12 selectable LED sources. We have tested UV, visible, NIR, and SWIR led configurations. You can configure an illuminator with multiple wavelengths or a single wavelength to achieve higher irradiance.
Contracts and Analytics
GeoPulse currently consults with a variety of specialties, offering agile engineering and analytics services.
