Since 1986 MetaSystems has designed and manufactured systems for computerized automated microscopic imaging. From the very beginning, the close relationship to the end user has been an essential part of the MetaSystems philosophy.

The following three decades have revealed that this was a successful strategy; from humble beginnings, MetaSystems has grown into a highly innovative corporation which still remains connected to its strong roots. MetaSystems takes pride in the fact that it has been independent from sponsors and external investors for the entirety of its existence.

As a result, we now look back to a history of unrivaled continuity. Our products are subject to constant advancement, and our customers benefit from uninterrupted update and upgrade paths - even for installations done in the early days of the company. Users throughout the world have chosen to optimize their work with MetaSystems products. This has only been possible with the help of the many skillful and hardworking business partners of MetaSystems. We understand that the contribution of our partners is crucial to our success; therefore in 2001, we introduced yearly company meetings for our worldwide distributors. The company has also established a number of subsidiary offices outside of Germany to support our customers and partners in their regions.

Neon, MetaSystems‘ innovative imaging platform, is much more than a microscopic imaging system. Neon reliably manages cases, images, and results of single workstations, as well as of large multi-user installations. Neon guarantees that all relevant information is visible whenever and wherever it is needed. Neon‘s elaborated and flexible workflow settings facilitate seamless integration with existing routines, and allow for the use of a variety of different imaging applications.
