TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Portable Microscope (MSC-TOPS-131)

NASA is offering licensing opportunities for its TRL 8 handheld digital microscope, a self-contained, portable device with optics, high-resolution imaging, wireless connectivity, and rechargeable battery, originally developed for in-space hematological diagnostics and crew health monitoring on the ISS but adaptable for Earth-based field use. The technology leverages 3D-printed components and COTS hardware for low-cost manufacturing, enabling submicron imaging without bulky benchtop equipment. Companies interested in commercializing, manufacturing, and marketing the microscope through exclusive or nonexclusive licenses are invited to apply via NASA's ATLAS system.
