About us
Since 1996, PicoQuant has been developing and manufacturing photonic components and instruments, including microscope and spectrometer systems, TCSPC and time-tagging electronics, pulsed lasers and LED sources, photon-counting detectors, and analysis software. The portfolio includes systems for fluorescence lifetime microscopy (FLIM), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), and single-photon counting down to the picosecond range. Customers come from the life sciences, materials science, quantum optics, metrology, and scientific instrumentation sectors. Sales are conducted worldwide through more than 20 representative locations; in addition, the company offers support, training, and a trade-in program for older devices. The team comprises more than 150 employees worldwide.
