13 December 2022

Miravex limited is an Irish company specialized in the areas of optics, image analysis and software engineering. Founded in 2009, Miravex has introduced a new concept in skin imaging and analysis with the Antera 3D camera, serving the Pharma, Cosmetics and Biotech markets.

Antera 3D combines real 3D imaging with high measurement precision, standardized lighting conditions, versatility of measurements and powerful data analysis.  The Antera 3D is easy to use, image acquisition is fast and data export and analysis a breeze. The field of view of the camera is 56x56mm (2.2”x2.2”).

 

Miravex limited has an extensive network of Distributors in the EU, Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia and direct access to the North America and Indian markets.

3D

  • The Antera 3D uses a patented method to reconstruct full 3D images of the skin surface.
  • Perfect for the analysis of wrinkles, texture, pores, volume, etc.

PRECISE

  • High repeatability. Tests performed on artificial skin samples under controlled conditions have determined an instrumental error of less than 2%,
  • High reproducibility. Tests performed have shown little inter-operator differences.

 

VERSATILE

With the Antera 3D you can do it all. With just one device.

  • Skin profilometer. Would you like to measure skin topography? Wrinkles, skin texture, pores, acne scars, volumes?
  • Multi-spectral analyser. Would you like to measure pigmentation and vascular lesions? Brown spots, hyper-pigmentation, rosacea, port wine stains, etc.?
  • Would you like to measure skin colour, skin phototype, ITA angles and colour differences?

 

FAST

Full skin analysis in less than 60 seconds.

Point & shoot.

  • Image acquisition takes less than one second.
  • No post-processing required.
  • All data available in real-time.

Data Export.

  • Generate Reports including all images, graphs and tables.
  • Export all data to CSV files with one click.

CASE STUDY – TEXTURE MEASUREMENTS

Example of measurements of skin texture on the forehead, before & after. Colour images displayed in 2D and Texture images in 3D.

VALIDATED

The Antera 3D has been used in almost 100 peer reviewed publication in scientific journals.
