Lyncée Tec combine more than two decades of expertise in Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM®) with a strong focus on custom development. Their transmission Compact-DHM® is a simplified, single-objective module with a very small footprint that can be embedded into existing instruments or used as the core of new OEM solutions.
Despite its reduced size and cost, it delivers high-quality quantitative phase images, enabling applications across life sciences, biotechnology, drug testing and environmental monitoring.
By collaborating closely with our partners, we adapt both hardware and software to meet specific requirements—whether this means mechanical modifications, environmental housings, dedicated optical configurations, or custom software integration into existing workflows.
Key Advantages
- Compact & cost-effective: Single-objective design with minimal footprint.
- Integration-ready: Easy mechanical and software adaptation for OEM projects.
- Quantitative imaging: Provides the full set of DHM® applications already validated by Lyncée Tec.
- Custom development: Hardware and software tailored to your instrument and workflow.
Whether you are building a new instrument, upgrading an existing system, or looking for advanced imaging capabilities with minimal adaptation effort, our Compact-DHM® offers the ideal solution.
Our engineering team supports you from concept to integration, ensuring rapid development and reliable operation.

Partner Testimonial:
A new perspective on ocean microbial ecology through in-situ Digital Holography
Case study: automated micro-plankton imaging at depth
The Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies has integrated our Compact-DHM® into an autonomous instrument to study micro-plankton at 200 m depth.
This project demonstrates how quickly the module can be embedded, even in extreme conditions, while delivering reliable, label-free quantitative imaging.
“Marine microbes drive vital ocean processes but are hard to study in natural conditions. With Lyncée Tec’s compact DHM®, we can now observe them in 3D, in-situ, down to 200 m depth – opening new insights into climate, biodiversity, and ecosystem dynamics.”
