UABio 2025: presenting our technology solutions at the Faculty of Biosciences (UAB)
On 6 June 2025, we were present in Building C of the Faculty of Biosciences (UAB) at the UABio Scientific Conference, where we presented our technology solutions for research.
We showcased 2 motorised systems designed for advanced microscopy applications, as well as our web platforms:
Yolo Labeller Web App: a labeling tool for microscopy images based on YOLOv8 + SAM
QaiFIL Analysis Web App: a remote inference system optimised for quantifying filamentous bacteria.
Come and discover how the integration of motorised hardware and AI tools can transform your scientific workflows!

Galileo Galilei and Winkoms
Although Galileo Galilei did not stand out especially for his microscopic studies, he did so because of the application of the lenses in several devices such as the telescope and the creation of a microscope which he called "occhiolino" in the year 1609.
"The occhiolino" or microscope composed of a convex lens and a concave lens had a finish, cover included, with a strong Italian Renaissance character.
The microscope was made up of three lenses: eyepiece, field and objective. The eyepiece was located in a wooden capsule inserted in the upper part of the inner cardboard cylinder. At the bottom of this cylinder, held by a wooden ring, was the field lens. With respect to the objective lens it was in a wooden support at the bottom of the outer cylinder and lined with green leather. The inner cylinder (eyepiece and field) slides inside the outer one, to calculate the focal. The external cylinder, with the entire optical system was supported by an iron ring supported by three pillars. The approach was achieved by moving the body inside the iron ring.
Our brand Winkoms wants to pay tribute to the "occhiolino" (wink in English) of Galileo Galilei, and we intend that its creation and ingenuity be the reflection of our values and the way of understanding business.
