Princeton Instruments, Inc Feb 12, 2009

Princeton Instruments (PI) designs and manufactures high-performance CCD camera, spectrograph and optics solutions for the scientific research, industrial imaging and OEM markets.

We take pride in partnering with our customers to solve their most challenging problems in unique, innovative ways.
PI's cameras, spectrographs and optics are ideal for numerous applications including:

Imaging
Researchers are increasingly adopting optical imaging techniques to analyze complex physical, biological and chemical systems. With the advent of highly sensitive charge coupled devices (CCD), they are able to design ever challenging experiments to obtain steady state as well as kinetic (time resolved) data from their experiments.
PI has pioneered several state-of-the-art CCD, EMCCD and ICCD cameras imgaing applications:

Combustion

Single Molecule Detection

Pressure Sensitive Paint

Astronomy

Bose-Einstein Condensate

Nanotechnology

Surface & Material Analysis

Partical Imaging Velocimetry

High Speed Imaging

Spectroscopy - Princeton Instruments and Acton Research have a combined total of more than seventy five years of experience in the field of spectroscopy. With combined efforts, PI has expertise in three key areas of spectroscopy: CCD cameras, Spectrometers and Optical Coatings.
