ASI image detecting systems capture 2 million in new investment
Reading time: 3 minutes
Amsterdam Scientific Instruments recently revealed that it received two million euros in new investment from, among others, the TechNano Fund. With this injection of capital, the high tech imaging expert is looking to expand and to develop its system for next-generation detection.
Founded in 2011 as a spin-off of Nikhef, the NWO institute for subatomic physics, and Amolf, the NWO institute for physics of functional complex matter, Amsterdam Scientific Instruments (ASI) develops state-of-the-art image detecting systems used in x-ray, electron microscopy and mass spectrometry. These systems have a 2D array of ‘smart pixels’, where each pixel essentially operates as a camera by measuring the energy of incoming charges.
ASI’s hybrid pixel imaging systems are both detection and readout capable, as well as customizable, offering a broad range of applications, both in the scientific and industrial domains. The camera systems are already being deployed in several experimental physics labs all over the globe, including Nikhef and the European organization for nuclear research, CERN.
