  • Collect compelling evidence for academic papers or conference presentations
  • Support preclinical testing of supplements and pharmaceuticals with objective analysis

We specialize in difficult biological imaging ― including Whole-body capillaries, skin microtexture, and scalp.
Our protocols, based on international research publications, ensure reliable measurement of capillary blood flow and other micro-level features.

Need help capturing the data?
You can visit our studio in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa ― just south of Tokyo ― for full support.
We also offer equipment rentals, hands-on guidance, and expert image processing to meet your needs.

Analysis can begin with just one image.
Let us help you turn complex visuals into meaningful, quantifiable insights.

Frequently Requested Analysis

"How we confirm the effectiveness of our products in improving blood flow?"

We measure capillary blood flow velocity not only in human capillaries but also in experimental animals such as rats and mice.

Customer requests:

  • "We want you to measure the change of the capillary velocity to confirm the effectiveness of our healthcare products in improving blood flow."
  • "We want to conduct pre-tests with a small number of people under a low budget before clinical trials using the capillaroscopy."

"I want to observe changes in capillary density and dilation."

We propose an analysis method that meets your needs. If melanin, hairs, or other unwanted elements appear in the image, we can exclude them from the analysis.

Customer requests:

  • "We want you to measure the area of the capillaries to confirm whether or not capillaries are dilated by the chemical."

"I need the number of capillaries measured as data for writing a paper."

Capillary Count per Millimeter
Capillary Count per Millimeter

One of the indicators of observation of capillaries in the nail cage area is the number of capillaries.
We can count the number of capillaries per millimeter and observe changes over time.
Our proprietary image analysis software developed by GOKO allows for unbiased counting based on protocol, avoiding any subjective selection of vessels.

Customer requests:

  • "I want data for publication. I want to get the results without arbitrariness."
  • "I am not sure which capillaries should be counted."

You can also visit GOKO to receive image analysis on-site

You are welcome to visit GOKO's Japan office for in-person measurement and analysis support.

Our space allows subjects to lie down comfortably when observing areas like the scalp or lower extremities.
Our facility has also been used by television crews to film the effects of blood flow improvement using our capillary scope.

We are conveniently located just outside Tokyo, easily accessible by train.
