NanoXCan Project

NANEO is proud to participate in developing and making most challenging laser mirrors for the NanoXCan project aiming at developing the world’s first compact “X-Ray nanoscope”. The NanoXCAN project is one of the winners of the Pathfinder Open program of the European Innovation Council (EIC). The characterization of viral structures and the identification of key proteins involved in each step of the cycle of infection are crucial to developing treatments. Yet imaging single viruses can only be performed in a few specialized centres in Europe, while every hospital could benefit from it. NanoXCAN proposes to develop a tabletop virus imaging X-ray microscope, with foreseeable impact as revolutionary as the invention of super-resolved fluorescence.
