About LightForm, Inc.
LightForm, Inc was founded in 1996 by
Jeremy Lerner, to design, develop and bring
to market, new approaches to spectral and
hyperspectral imaging instruments
Overview
LightForm was the proud recipient of three National
Institute of Health, SBIR grants. These awards
funded the development of the PARISS®
Analytical Hyperspectral Imaging system.
PARISS was formally introduced to the market at
the Pittsburgh Conference in 1998.
PARISS can now be found in routine use in bio-
research, medical, physics, chemistry, and
industrial laboratories throughout the world.
Applications using PARISS have appeared on the
covers of four journals (see opposite)
Uses include: photo-luminescence, solar coatings,
cyanobacteria detection, micro-plastics,
nanoparticle characterization, spectral
histopathology, spectral fluorescence imaging, and
many industrial QC applications that require
spectroscopic characterization of micron and sub-
micron targets.
