MIKAIA® – Image Analysis Multi-tool for Digital Pathology & Spatial Biology

Driving life science discoveries

MIKAIA® is the ideal software for preclinical and clinical research – precisely tailored to the requirements and specific questions of life science researchers at every level:

  • Whole-slide and batch analysis – For objective and quantitative results.
  • Image-to-Excel – Extract read-outs from your cohort.
  • Address your specific use case – Combine 20 apps to build more complex analyses.
  • Custom-fit for your research – Cover many tasks using "off the shelf" apps, use the AI Author App to train your own AIs directly inside MIKAIA®, or plug in your existing AI scripts using the “Plug-in your own AI” API.
  • All in one – Supported modalities include standard morphology (H&E staining), immunohistochemistry (IHC), multiplexed immunofluorescence (mIF) / spatial proteomics, and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI / MALDI).
