Scientific instruments

Advanced instruments are essential to the development of science. Developing scientific instruments that can change the face of research often demands extreme precision.

Scientific research requires new approaches and often instruments to match. When commercial instruments are not available or not appropriate new designs are required. At IBS, we understand that your instrument ideas and challenges lie at the leading edge.

Trends in advanced scientific instruments:

Complexity

The demand to independently vary progressively more parameters is growing. At IBS we apply advanced system architecture to ensure that parameter changes do not influence each other and compromise data.

Freeform design

Advances in computing have opened the door to design and manufacture of freeform objects, such as mirrors and lens. At IBS we have been enabling the application of freeforms, from the development of next generation CMMs to precision components for Synchrotons.

Big data

Current instruments often capture extreme amounts of data. We have been helping our customers to implement cutting edge data handling and management strategies, such as our solutions for CERN where 500 Tera bytes have been captured, structured and made accessible to institutes across the world.

Ultra precision to the next level.

At IBS, we understand that your instrument ideas and challenges lie at the cutting edge. Sometimes those ideas demand extreme precision. Our team can help you achieve the next level of precision.
