Ramona Optics Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, received a $999,997 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to develop a novel high-content 3D microscope platform called MCAM-3D. The platform will enable parallelized, high-speed 3D imaging of unconstrained model organisms like zebrafish and Drosophila, overcoming limitations of current microscopy methods that require organism immobilization and constrain natural behaviors. The award period runs from May 15, 2024 to April 30, 2026.
In addition, Ramona Optics previously fulfilled subcontracts to deliver custom microscope hardware and components for federal research projects, demonstrating its ability to supply specialized microscopy equipment to meet the needs of government agencies and research institutions. The company's expertise in advanced microscopy technologies has been further validated through its receipt of multiple NIH grants supporting the development of innovative imaging platforms for biomedical applications.
