History
Nanotronics was founded by Matthew Putman, a materials science professor at Columbia University, and his father John Putman. Matthew Putman was inspired to start the company after coming down with esophageal cancer at age 31. Nanotronics has received $7 million in venture capital funding from Founders Fund and PayPal founder Peter Thiel, who sits on the company's board of directors.
In 2015, Nanotronics acquired Franklin Mechanical & Control, a manufacturer of optical equipment based in Hollister, California.
Products
Nanotronics builds hardware and software that can be used to see features down to the nanometer scale. It integrates off-the-shelf high resolution microscopes with custom software, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. Nanotronics technology has a number of medical applications, such as screening for cervical cancer.
In April 2015, Nanotronics announced a new virtual reality system, called nVisible, that allows anyone to "walk through" a 3D model of objects at the microscopic scale.
