Posted on June 6, 2019. Expansion capital for next-generation imaging technology company Amsterdam, NL – Amsterdam Scientific Instruments B.V. (‘ASI’), a leading vendor of advanced camera systems for X-ray imaging and electron microscopy, has received an investment from a consortium of investors led by TechNano Fund. Alongside this transaction the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and […]

We’re happy to announce that TechnoS Instruments is a now a recognized channel partner os Amsterdam Scientific Instruments. TechnoS is a Technology based Solutions company, providing advanced materials processing and characterization solutions through our offices and partners across India and abroad. Founded by graduates from one of the World’s best Institutes, “Indian Institute of Technology”, […]

Researchers from Sweden and China have synthesized a new large pore zeolite SYSU‐3. Continuos rotation electron diffraction, with ASI’s sensitive direct electron detector, was used to determine the atomic structure of the zeolite. To further investigate chemical properties and to study binding interactions, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance was used. These techniques can complement each other increasing […]

Researchers from Stockholm University solved the structure of lysozyme from micro-crystals with a rare crystal form using ASI’s sensitive detector technology. Due to the detectors’ high read-out speed, in a short time, multiple datasets could be collected improving the final model quality. SUMMARY Recent developments of novel electron diffraction techniques have shown to be powerful […]

Amsterdam, 20 December 2017 Amsterdam Scientific Instruments (ASI) has acquired a license from CERN for the TIMEPIX3 technology, a core component for ASI’s next generation hybrid pixel cameras. With the newly obtained license the company can now deliver the systems commercially. ASI is a spin-off from Nikhef, the Dutch institute of Particle Physics. Since its […]

Posted on 16 November 2017 Expansion capital for next-generation imaging technology company Amsterdam, NL – Amsterdam Scientific Instruments B.V. (“ASI”), a leading vendor of state-of-the-art camera systems for X-ray imaging and electron microscopy, has received an investment from a consortium of investors led by Nascent Ventures. ASI’s camera systems are based on Medipix technology developed […]

We are welcoming 2 new distributors from China and South Korea that have joined the ASI team recently. The collaboration between ASI and both distributors reflects the continuing development of our global business. APEC in South Korea stands for Applied Physics Engineering Company. The company focusses on high voltage technology and works closely together with […]

Congratulations to our founding institute Nikhef. Our founding institute Nikhef was directly involved in the detection of gravitational waves and lights in a spectacular cosmic event. During the collision of two neutron stars gravitational waves in form of ripples in space and time could be captured. The emitted waves were observable for about 100 seconds, […]

The group from Prof. Dr. J.P. Abrahams from Leiden University published their research on the determination of organic pharmaceutical compounds using a Timepix quantum area detector developed by ASI. This study has been noted in the research news of International Union of Crystallography on the 26th of February. The following message is adapted from their […]

Researchers from Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands recently solved the atomic structure from a single protein nano-crystal (volume: 0.14 um3) using ASI’s detector technology. This is an order of magnitude smaller than what was previously achievable and is due to the unprecedented sensitivity of the detector. This paves the way for structure determination of macromolecules […]
