Company background
Confocal.nl aims to change the microscopy industry with a confocal microscope based on the re-scan
invention: the Re-scan Confocal Microscope (RCM). RCM combines the super-resolution capability with
higher sensitivity than most confocal microscopes. The re-scan technology was developed at the
Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences of the University of Amsterdam. This innovative technology converts a standard microscope into a super-resolution microscope for three-dimensional confocal imaging. It is a highly affordable and customizable device, ideal for small labs with specific interests in biomedical research and as a working horse at microscopy facilities to increase imaging capacity. The simple technical design and open architecture make the system platform and software independent, allowing plug-and-play upgrading of any standard fluorescence microscopes.
Confocal.nl started as a company in 2016 and has grown to a team consisting of 15 highly skilled
specialists, engineers and business developers. There is a need to expand the technical team with a Mechatronic Engineer to speed up the design and production of our newest products. This position is a good career opportunity for a creative and experienced Mechatronic Engineer
