1 Oblique Back-illumination Microscopy Jerome Mertz June 15, 2012

2 600μm field-of-view with 6.5μm resolution 240μm field-of-view with 2.5μm resolution No labeling or contrast required Video rate Oblique Back-illumination Microscopy (OBM) Breakthrough imaging allows DIC-like images in thick samples

3 OBM offers superior imaging and high clinical impact in a simple, robust, and cost-effective platform Superior imaging capabilities with high clinical impact Exquisite high resolution phase images (DIC-like) of in vivo tissue morphology Simultaneous phase and amplitude microscopy with tissue imaging depth of 60-100μm – improves diagnostic imaging in thick tissue – applications in endoscopy Works at video rate with a standard camera Simple, robust, cost effective, and safe Add-on to current microscopes or endomicroscopes, with no moving parts Noninvasive, no tissue labeling required Illuminated using LEDs rather than expensive and unsafe lasers

4 Both research and clinical applications are possible with OBM $3B US Microscope Market in 2011 with 6% CAGR through 2015 1 Several Established Players: Leica, Carl Zeiss, Olympus, etc 790 Potential Target Labs in US 2 GI Endoscopy –> 10 MM Procedures / year –Colorectal, Gall, Esophageal Blood flow analysis in plastic / reconstructive surgery –>1MM surgeries per year Bladder imaging Research Applications Clinical Applications 3 1.Jon Groberg, Dane Leone, CFA, “Danaher: BEC is the key to continued success”, Macquarie (USA) Equities Research, 16 Aug 2011 2.Source: http://www.lltechimaging.com/http://www.lltechimaging.com/ 3.Source: Mauna Kea Investor Presentation, published June 2011

5 Colorectal Screenings GI screening offers a compelling opportunity for OBM Barrett’s Esophagus 3.1 MM colorectal screenings in US annually High percentage of biopsied polyps are benign Strong market opportunity for technologies that aid in biopsy site determination > 1 MM screenings in US annually American Gastroenterological Assoc. recently increased recommended screening schedule for high risk patients 85% mortality rate for Esophageal cancer (BE increases cancer risk)
