About the Company
Our client has won numerous national and EU awards for its technology and business proposition. The company is targeting a large niche global market of disease and drug research organisations that is estimated to grow to €1 billion in annual revenues within ten years.
The microscope produces tomograms of frozen biological cells providing information on the internal structure of the cell, which is critical in understanding disease causation and developing effective therapies and vaccines.
Our client's technology leverages a very small laser-produced plasma to generate soft X-rays efficiently coupled to the microscope.
