Founded in 2018, ConnectomX emerged from the shared vision of two scientist friends who were fueled by a mutual passion for pushing the boundaries of volume electron microscopy. They envisioned a universal tool that could complement and enhance the capabilities of existing scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) across the globe.

Katana microtome came to life with this vision and became the world's first universal in-situ ultramicrotome, designed to fit seamlessly with any SEM, transforming it into a volume SEM, achieving a Z resolution at 20 nm.
