Tibidabo Scientific Industries comprises five companies – Lambert Instruments, Photek, Photonic Science and Engineering, Scintacor and Precision X-ray. Together, as the company’s vice-president for North America Tom Nunn explains, they form a family of brands that develop and manufacture technologies that can detect photons from X-ray to short-wave infrared.
In this short video filmed at Photonics West 2023, you can first hear how the Tibidado group supports the photonics industry whether it’s through scientific research, medical technology , aerospace or security.
Then Scintacor managing director Jon Kemp explains how the company sees itself as a centre of excellence for scintillation and phosphor screens. Its technology allows non-ionizing radiation and non-visible photons to be detected at visible wavelengths. Kemp introduces their new IRis safety wand, which was developed to help data centres manage high-powered lasers safely.
Duncan Stacey, Photonic Science business development manager, describes its wide range of cameras for photon-starved or low-light-level applications (surveillance, astronomy, spectroscopy, industrial inspection) including cameras harnessing one of the new sCMOS sensors.
Next, you can hear from Lambert Instruments, which creates advanced imaging solutions for cell biology, combustion research, low-light levels and high-speed imaging. Jeroen Wehmeijer, general manager, introduces the firm’s new Stamina system, which records at high speeds and recombines images from many different cameras using image intensifiers.
Finally, the video looks at Photek, which makes detectors and camera systems for applications ranging from fusion research and high-energy particle physics to biosciences and space . It tailors detector systems and cameras for customer-specific applications, with Fenton Mann, technical sales manager, showcasing one of its flagship photon counting systems. The product combines a photo detector with extremely fast read-out electronics and can time stamp single-photons events.
