A passion for healthier skin and happier lives

A passion for healthier skin and happier lives

VivoSight is designed and manufactured by Michelson Diagnostics Ltd. (MDL) in Kent, England. Our flagship product, VivoSight Dx, is a state-of-the art Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system.

MDL believes that VivoSight OCT images and measurements give scientists and clinicians access to valuable information about the skin not readily available by other means. We believe OCT provides users with The Whole Picture of skin instead of just part of it.

Our purpose is to realize highly cost-effective, unique OCT applications for everyday use in skin research facilities and dermatology practices. VivoSight images and measurements can provide researchers and clinicians with valuable information that can help them deliver healthy skin for happy living.

We nurture curiosity and collaboration for our staff and stakeholders to deepen mutual domain knowledge.

We are constantly looking for opportunities to gain new insights and are continuously improving VivoSight performance to address the needs of researchers, healthcare providers and the patients that we all serve.

Meaningful applications are major drivers for MDL. VivoSight’s capability to look into the skin, aid in pathology assessment and monitor therapy effectiveness allows for a more optimal management of challenging cases.
