The Netherlands-based Delmic is set to bring fundamental change to electron tomography work-flows, making microscopy faster, more accessible and affordable. Chief executive and co-founder, Sander Den Hoedt, explains his company’s plans.
Sander den Hoedt, Delmic CEO
Tell us a little about Delmic’s history. Delmic was founded in 2011. It started out as a spin-off from Delft University of Technology and AMOLF, the materials research institute, in Amsterdam. We are the result of research groups that combined fundamental research with building tools to tackle scientific challenges. Today, our company employees 40 people and is continuing to innovate to provide technologies that help scientists get reliable data faster and more easily.
What were your first products? We started out with the world’s first commercially available integrated correlative light and electron microscopy (iCLEM) solution called SECOM. Shortly thereafter we added the SPARC, a cathodoluminescence (CL) detector.
