The expansion will also enable Semrock to focus on high-volume miniaturized optics for the emerging diagnostic and point-of-care health care market.

“We have taken our advanced optical design and manufacturing capabilities to the next level with this new facility,” said Semrock general manager Rob Beeson. “As the revolution in personal health care proceeds, Semrock will continue to be at the forefront of enabling optical technology.”

Presentations at the ceremony were given by Dr. Michael J. Cumbo, president of IOP, Beeson and Dr. Craig Hodgson, director of research and development at Semrock. A Q&A session and media tour of the new site concluded the event.

Semrock supports the biotech and analytical instrumentation market with three product platforms — optical filters for fluorescence instrumentation and microscopy, Raman instrumentation filters and laser analytical instrumentation filters.

Glossary
fluorescence microscopy
Fluorescence microscopy is a specialized optical imaging technique used in biology, chemistry, and materials science to visualize and study specimens that exhibit fluorescence. Fluorescence is the phenomenon where a substance absorbs light at one wavelength and emits light at a longer wavelength. In fluorescence microscopy, fluorescent dyes or proteins are used to label specific structures or molecules within a sample. The basic principles of fluorescence microscopy involve illuminating the...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
