Prominent Chinese researchers are buying into Cambridge UK technology that is revolutionising imaging capability in medical and other sectors.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, and The National Institute of Metrology have both just installed TeraView’s TPS Spectra 3000 spectrometers.

The system at UESTC will be used by Prof Xiaodong Chen – Visiting Professor from Queen Mary University London. Professor Chen, who heads the department of Microwave Engineering in the Department of Electronic Engineering at QMUL, has a long standing history in the area of terahertz radiation research and has been a key contributor to the international terahertz community.

The second TPS Spectra 3000 system at the National Institute of Metrology is supplied with TeraView's unique medical probe which provides three-dimensional information revealing structures beneath the surface with spatial resolution precision considered market-leading.

“The growing interest in terahertz science and technology from China and recent developments in the area by prominent Chinese researchers have been remarkable,” said TeraView’s CEO, Don Arnone.

“The success of our Asian business is evidence of our commitment to provide these customers with total solutions to their business needs, which is of upmost importance to users in this region. Being selected by such high-profile institutions strengthens TeraView’s position in the region as the leading supplier of turnkey terahertz systems.”

TeraView is renowned as the world’s first company devoted to the application of Terahertz light for spectroscopy and imaging. A spin out from Toshiba and Cambridge University in 2001 and employing around 25 staff, TeraView has been developing the technology across a number of areas and applications and now has equipment in over 30 countries.

Headquartered in Cambridge, sales and support are available throughout Europe, North America and the Far East either directly or through a network of distributors.
