Surgical pathology

Medical specialty dedicated to analyzing tissues and cells

In 2025, 95% of cancer diagnosis rely on surgical pathology.

As demand grows, pathologists are under increasing pressure to deliver faster results while maintaining exceptional accuracy.

Despite recent advances in digital pathology and AI tools, two bottlenecks remain: staining samples and interpreting them efficiently.

Technical details

Surgical Pathology

MIRStain uses infrared light to caracterize biological tissues. Our deep learning model then use these data to digitaly stain samples. This allows to skip chemical staining processes, cuting down on cost and time-to-result. This process can also be used for diagnosis and metabolomics.

100% diagnostic time reduction
30% laboratory costs reduction
30% less water and chemicals
95% analysis accuracy

Infrared Morpho-Spectral Imaging for Label-Free Optical Tissue Staining

Duraffourg, L., Borges, H., Fernandes, M., Beurrier-Bousquet, M., Baraillon, J., Vianey, K., et al. (2025). Pre-print.

In this work, we introduce a fast, large-field bimodal imaging platform that combines conventional brightfield microscopy with a lensless infrared imaging scanner capable of acquiring whole-slide IR image stacks within minutes. Leveraging a dedicated deep learning model, we implement…
