High-end STEM Technology Expands Bruker’s
Portfolio for Materials Science Research
Bruker today announced that it has acquired Nion, a
privately-held company that develops and manufactures innovative
high-end scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM). Nion
was the first company to introduce aberration correction for STEM
instruments with ultra-high stability for highest resolution
images, and Nion is the world leader in ultra-high energy and
spatial resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). This
acquisition enhances Bruker’s product offerings and technology
portfolio in materials science research and provides the technology
base for applications in electron diffraction crystallography. In
2023, Nion had approximately $8 million in revenue. Financial
details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Located in Kirkland, WA, USA, Nion was founded in 1997 by Dr.
Ondrej Krivanek and Dr. Niklas Dellby. Under their leadership, Nion
developed into a premier provider for high-end STEMs for
researchers in materials science research worldwide.
“We are excited to add the high-end STEM products, the electron
microscopy technology, and this new expertise of Nion to Bruker,”
said Dr. Frank Burgaezy, the Bruker AXS division president. “Nion
has unique products for the most demanding research applications in
materials science electron microscopy, and Bruker will offer Nion
global market reach as well as collaborations on new developments
to enter new applications in electron diffraction crystallography
based on Nion electron microscope and Bruker crystallography
technologies.”
“With the introduction of aberration correction and ultra-high
energy resolution EELS, Nion has revolutionized STEM technology.
With our products we have established an excellent reputation among
leading scientists around the globe as a provider of high-end STEM
products,” added Dr. Ondrej Krivanek, co-founder of Nion. “Our work
has given us unique insights into what researchers need. We are
very gratified to join Bruker, an internationally esteemed
instrumentation company, whose philosophy, culture, and reputation
align very closely with our company culture and our
research-oriented goals.”
