Value proposition
Part of Oxford Instruments ANDOR -
High performance scientific cameras for Visible and Infrared spectra
First Light Imaging, part of ANDOR in the OXFORD INSTRUMENTS group, designs and manufactures scientific cameras that combine extreme sensitivity and high speed for both visible and infrared spectra.
Coming from european academic research institutes, already multiple award-winning, First Light Imaging is recognized for the high performance of its products and works with world leading institutes and manufacturers. We develop our cutting-edge cameras around state of the art sensors. EMCCD, CMOS, e-APD or InGaAs, we integrate the most challenging, difficult to harness detectors in complex optics systems.
Our detectors and technology are already at the heart of the Adaptive Optics systems for the world’s biggest telescopes, looking at the universe, searching for planets.
