TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Portable Microscope (MSC-TOPS-131)

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is offering license rights—both exclusive and non‑exclusive—to commercialize a handheld digital microscope developed at Johnson Space Center. The microscope is flight‑qualified (TRL 8), self‑contained, includes optics, illumination, high‑resolution imaging, wireless connectivity, and a rechargeable battery, and is designed for in‑situ hematology diagnostics in space but has many Earth‑based applications such as field pathology, forensic analysis, and rapid medical screening. Interested companies must submit a license application via NASA’s ATLAS portal. No funding is provided with the license, and NASA does not manufacture commercial products itself. • Handheld digital microscope (TRL 8) available for licensing, no funding attached. • Includes optics, illumination, imaging board, Bluetooth/Internet connectivity, and rechargeable battery. • Intended for space‑crew health monitoring; potential Earth‑based uses in medical, research, and field diagnostics. • License can be exclusive or non‑exclusive, with possible field‑of‑use restrictions. • Application deadline: 10 August 2027 (15:00 CT).
