Who we are

At Tiny Bright Things, our mission is to transform the way researchers and manufacturers see (and measure) tiny. Our patent-pending Halo microscopy platform enables imaging and measurement down to the nanoscale (smaller than a virus) at lightning speed, enabling whole new fields of discovery and supercharging manufacturing with real-time process insights. We develop optical hardware with embedded electronics that integrate tightly with our proprietary image acquisition/analysis software through a simple, modern user interface so that our customers can make groundbreaking insights with just a couple of clicks. Tiny Bright Things is an award-winning early stage startup backed by Uniseed venture capital (among others), with strong links to the University of Melbourne.
