30 years S&I

S&I celebrates 30 successful years

S&I was founded in 1995.
The goal was to develop customized solutions for high-end Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The VistaControl software developed by S&I was and remains the cornerstone enabling complete system control.

In 1996, the first customer specific Raman system was manufactured: a fiber-coupled Raman/PL system.

In the late 1990s S&I expanded the product range with standard system layouts, that could either be procured as a stand alone system or implemented into a customers application. The first standard system offered was the TriVista.

In the mid to late 2000s, the ever increasing quality of optical filters allowed for the extensive use of single monochromator systems in Raman and photoluminescence on a broader, more convenient scale.
This lead to the introduction of the first standardized MonoVista confocal Raman system.

Continuous development led to the release of the first MonoVista CRS+ in 2010.

In the 2020s, the third generation of MonoVista and TriVista systems, known as the CRS³ models, was released.

Today, S&I offers confocal Raman systems, either as standard products such as the MonoVista and TriVista series or as customized solutions tailored to customer needs and applications.

S&I looks back on a 30-year close partnership with Princeton Instruments and cooperates with many well-known manufacturers worldwide.
There are direct representation in over 15 countries and regions outside of Europe.
