ADVACAM produces detectors that can sense every single particle and distinguish various types of radiation. Their cameras are used for X-ray imaging and particle tracking in multiple industries. From medicine to space.

The company’s patented methods include monitoring space weather aboard the International Space Station, verifying the authenticity of artwork, nondestructive testing of aircraft components, electron microscopy, and even improving cancer treatment. ADVACAM’s mission is literally “Imaging the Unseen.” They use the technologies from Medipix2, Medipix3, Timepix2, and Timepix3 to achieve this.

The pixel detector technology was originally developed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where scientists use similar devices to seek to understand the fundamental nature of matter. The founders of ADVACAM have been significantly involved in this research since the 1990s, and they are now successfully transferring this groundbreaking technology into practical applications in everyday life. ADVACAM was founded in 2013 as a spin-off of the Institute of Technical and Experimental Physics at the Czech Technical University (CTU) and the Medipix collaboration at CERN.
