At Spectronet, we take pride in celebrating the remarkable achievements of our cluster partners who continue to shape the future of photonics and optical technologies. One such partner that truly embodies innovation, excellence, and longevity is ZEISS Spectroscopy . The last year marked an extraordinary chapter in ZEISS’s story — a year filled with pioneering advancements, successful global engagements, and a historic anniversary: 150 years of spectroscopy at ZEISS . This mil

At Spectronet, we are always proud to highlight the groundbreaking innovations of our cluster partners. This time, XIMEA  — a long-standing pioneer in high-resolution imaging — once again pushes the limits of camera technology. XIMEA has expanded its xiX-XL camera family  by introducing the MX2457 series , featuring the highest-resolution cameras to date , powered by the Sony IMX811 backside illuminated (BSI) sensor . With unmatched detail and efficiency, this new addition is

One of our annual highlights and services offered to our SpectroNet members are the SpectroNet Collaboration Conferences. On September 17–18, 2025, we met in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, for two exciting days dedicated to Photonics & Machine Vision for Industrial and Biomedical Applications . Together with our collaboration partner TKH VISION Group , we welcomed researchers, developers, and business leaders from around the world to exchange knowledge, share the latest researc

New Study Identifies Ophthalmic Optics as a Key Industry of the Future Ophthalmic optics is among the most promising future industries of the German economy. This is the finding of a recent study conducted by the FutureManagementGroup  in cooperation with the German Industry Association SPECTARIS . The study analyzed 25 industrial sectors with regard to key future trends through 2040 and produced a ranking of the ten industries with the greatest future potential. The overarch

At SpectroNet, we are delighted to celebrate the remarkable achievement of our member Quantum Optics Jena GmbH , which has earned an independent certification  for its entangled photon-pair source  from INRiM – Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica  in Italy. This milestone is more than just a technical validation—it’s a strong signal of trust and maturity in the rapidly evolving field of quantum communication . Certification by a respected national metrology institute li

In 3D laser triangulation, the synergy between camera and laser is key to capture precise 3D measurements. In this technique the laser emits a beam onto the object, and the camera records how the laser light reflects off the surface. By analyzing this reflection, the system calculates distances and angles, enabling the creation of an accurate 3D profile of the object. Our Clusterpartners Photonfocus' 3D laser triangulation cameras  play a central role in this process, servin

Our Clusterpartner, the Headwall Group company perClass   offers the easiest user interface for spectral imaging with deployment for real-time operation: perClass Mira . Modern hyperspectral sensors can generate gigabytes of data because they have higher resolution than ever. Capture and interpretation of this data, often with hundreds of discrete wavelengths, can be extremely time-consuming with complicated programming and specialized knowledge required. perClass Mira enabl
