Exosens (the parent company of Photonis) advanced Micro Pore Optics (MPOs), manufactured at its Brive-la-Gaillarde facility in France, have been selected and integrated into the Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) instrument aboard the SMILE mission, which has successfully launched as of May 19, 2026. Developed as a joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese … Continue reading
When an input particle strikes the channel surface of the microchannel plate (MCP), it triggers an electron cascade inside millions of microscopic channels—amplifying even the smallest signals with incredible speed and precision. When an input particle strikes the channel surface, 2–3 secondary electrons are released. These electrons are accelerated down the channel by the voltage … Continue reading
The Growing Challenge of Patterned Wafer Inspection Semiconductor wafer inspection has become a defining factor for yield, reliability, and time-to-market. As devices shrink, patterned wafer inspection becomes more difficult due to dense layouts and complex structures that reduce visual contrast. This enables critical defects to blend into intended features. Dark‑field inspection is an optical inspection … Continue reading

Invisible forces often tell the earliest stories of electrical failure. In high-voltage systems, a faint violet glow or soft hiss may seem harmless, but it signals corona discharge, an electrical phenomenon caused by ionized air surrounding charged conductors. Left unchecked, these early warnings can escalate into costly disruptions. Detecting the Unseen with Solar Blind UV … Continue reading
