Beyond science dreams

Doctor X makes research instruments that give scientists high time and energy resolution at a precision that wasn’t accessible before. We specialize in ultrafast electron techniques for electron microscopy, crystallography, and spectroscopy.

Making the Invisible Visible

Ultrafast processes - events that unfold on femtosecond timescales - remained invisible for decades. These processes occur too fast to be captured by conventional instruments, leaving entire classes of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena effectively out of reach. Our technology changes that.

Doctor X instruments achieve superior time resolution in electron microscopy. Researchers can now observe phase transitions as they happen, watch phonons vibrate at hypersonic frequencies, and capture photosynthesis dynamics at the molecular level. It’s like moving from photography to video at the atomic scale. Performance that previously required billion-euro synchrotron facilities is now achievable for research institutes and universities.

System

Structural Dynamic Probe

Single-shot ultrafast electron diffraction

The Structural Dynamics Probe is a turnkey instrument for capturing atomic-scale ‘movies’ of materials as they change. Point it at a sample, trigger a reaction with a laser pulse, and watch the atoms move frame by frame, with each frame lasting less than a trillionth of a second. The system fits in a standard laboratory.
