Crystal Photonics GmbH

Crystal Photonics GmbH

The Crystal Photonics GmbH is a highly specified manufacturer of detector systems and miniaturised nuclear radiation detectors for medical- and industrial measuring technology, research, environmental protection and defence. We connect successful decades of experience in crystal processing with our competence of using nuclear radiation detectors in wide spreading application fields.

Our industrial sector produces a wide variety of miniaturized α-, β-, γ-, β⁺ and X-ray detectors, OEM detectors for synthesis modules for radiopharmaceuticals with a large selection on shape, energy and operating mode. Medical devices development and manufacturing, especially in the field of nuclear medicine, is one of our main key areas: Since 1997 we create gamma probe systems for radioguided surgery (like the Sentinel-Lymph-Node ectomy – SLNE), which have an excellent reputation worldwide because of their reliability and outstanding efficiency. Our newest system “Crystal Probe –automatic-” follows this tradition. It contains a large variety of different probes with variable parameters, such as our new bluetooth probe “Crystal Wireless Probe”, which currently represents the quintessence of our gamma probe development.

Together with the nuclear medicine institutes at the universities of Dresden and Leipzig, in a Federal Ministry of Economics funded project, we are currently developing one of the first small, imaging systems for radioguided surgery: the hand-held gamma camera “CrystalCam”.

Custom development of special systems is always the basis for new detectors, new applications and new solutions.
