The company will acquire a 100 per cent stake in BG Medical Applications (Berliner Glas Medical), SwissOptic AG and Chinese company SwissOptic (Wuhan)
SwissOptic, a Berliner Glas Group company, will be presenting its high-precision concave and convex aspheres with diameters ranging from 12 to 300mm made from materials such as optical glass, quartz glass, Zerodur, crystalline materials and metals

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
