Materials Research

Ametek Scientific Instruments with its Solartron and  Princeton Applied Research PAR brands has been recognized as a global leader in the design and manufacture of instrumentation for scientific research, particularly in the fields of electrochemistry and battery testing.

Andeen-Hagerling manufacture capacitance and capacitance/loss bridge test equipment for use in the lab and field. Since 1982, their products have been classed world-leading, enabling measurement of pressure, cryogenic temperatures, fluid levels, material characterisation, displacement and strain.

DEMCON kryoz specialises in cryogenic products designed to cool electronics or samples, for circuit or material characterisation respectively, to extreme low temperatures within plug-and-play self-contained desktop devices. Founded in 2008, DEMCON kryoz develops unique, fully integrated cryogenic cooling systems for both laboratory and field use.

Lyncée Tec of Switzerland offer digital holographic imaging (DHM®) techniques for materials science, life science and industrial inspection - making the invisible visible. DHM® is a non-scanning non-contact technology that instantly delivers 3D & 4D topography.

These unique features make possible applications not conceivable using white light interferometers and confocal microscopes: 3D topography measurements in presence of environmental vibration or of intrinsic sample vibration, characterisation in cryogenic and high temperature environments, large surfaces screening, and analysis of the deformation dynamics of samples due to stimuli such as temperature and pressure changes, light irradiance, mechanical force, or electromagnetic fields.

OZ Optics is a leading supplier of fibre optic components, sensor systems, and laser modules operating between 375 and 1625 nm. OZ Optics products are used by a broad range of customers in the telecoms, cable TV, medical, aerospace & military, industrial and educational sectors.
