Tescan is a trusted source of innovative and disruptive technologies for science and industries contributing to the welfare of the planet.
Our mission is to enable scientists and engineers addressing global and sustainability challenges with innovative instrumentation that reveals, uncovers, and discovers the secrets of matter at the micro and nano scale.
Mutual respect and collaboration are what lead us to victory
We are not afraid of taking on even the most challenging tasks
Each one of us is a true professional
We pour our hearts into our work
Research & Development is where ideas take shape through expertise. where Our R&D team advances SEM, FIB-SEM, STEM, and micro-CT technologies to develop solutions that help scientists and engineers make new discoveries across research and industry.
This area brings together all customer-facing teams under one unified commercial organization. It’s where our brand promise comes to life in every interaction, from lab demonstrations to conversations with clients.
Enabling Functions are the strategic foundation that keeps the company running smoothly and growing smartly. These teams—Finance, ICT, People & Culture, and Legal—don’t just support the business; they shape it.
Production & Operations teams are the quiet force behind every instrument that leaves our doors. From the first component to final delivery, these teams ensure that our microscopes meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance.

Demonstrating TENSOR’s capabilities to customers and hearing them describe it as a potential game changer for their research was a defining moment. It reaffirmed how our innovations can truly transform scientific workflows.
Tescan was born in Brno, Czech Republic, where a legacy of electron optics was already part of the city’s DNA. Founded by former engineers from the Tesla factories (one of the world’s first leading electron microscope hubs), the mission was simple but ambitious. Build world-class imaging systems that were easier to use and more accessible to the researchers who needed them most.
Early innovations like PROXIMA (our integrated optical navigation system) and the VEGA variable pressure SEM set a tone we have kept ever since - practical, intuitive, and driven by real research needs.
At the same time, Orsay Physics was doing something similar in France. Since 1989, they had been pushing the boundaries of focused ion beam (FIB) technology, developing custom solutions for microelectronics and materials science. Like Tescan, they believed tools should fit the people using them and they knew real innovation happens at the intersection of science and usability.
Tescan is stepping into the Chinese market and establishing Tescan China.
After two decades on parallel paths, Tescan and Orsay came together to form Tescan Orsay Holding. This was more than a merger; it was a meeting of minds. . Tescan brought SEM systems known for their flexibility and ease of use, while Orsay contributed FIB expertise and precision engineering. Together, this team could offer integrated platforms across SEM, FIB-SEM, and microanalysis, united by a shared philosophy: make the complex feel simple.
As our capabilities expanded, so did our team. The acquisition of XRE brought micro-CT to our portfolio, establishing Tescan micro-CT in Ghent. The integration of AppFive, now Tescan Tempe, added advanced system control and software innovation. These were also more than acquisitions, creating partnerships built on complementary strengths. Each one made our solutions broader, stronger, and better aligned with the needs of modern research.
During the same period, we expanded our global footprint by establishing Tescan Germany and Tescan Brazil, strengthening our presence in Europe and South America.
With TENSOR, we introduced a new generation of modular, scalable STEM platforms designed around workflows, not just specs. TENSOR is a system built to evolve with science, giving researchers the flexibility to upgrade and adapt without slowing down. TENSOR marked a paradigm shift: from machines to systems, from tools to experiences.
In November 2024, we welcomed EXpressLO products into the TESCAN Group. Known for innovative lift-out tools and cryogenic workflows, ExpressLO excels in FIB specimen preparation for challenging environments like cryo, soft materials, battery research.
This strategic acquisition powers key parts of our high-throughput automated workflows for materials science and semiconductor customers. Integrated with our new-generation FIB-SEM systems and 4D-STEM solutions, ExpressLO’s expertise brings faster, clearer, and more consistent results to our users. Their R&D and cryo manufacturing remain in the U.S., while their innovations scale globally under the TESCAN banner.
This same year brought our redefinition of plasma FIB-SEM: AMBER X2. Built for demanding materials science and semiconductor applications, AMBER X2 delivers high-resolution, low-damage imaging and faster time to data, all within a fully modular design. As research becomes more complex, we remain focused on keeping clarity and confidence at the core.
Our growth in the Asia-Pacific region accelerated with the acquisition of Tescan Korea and DML, both with strong roots in Korea’s semiconductor and academic sectors. Their integration brought over 500 systems and decades of market experience under one roof, solidifying our leadership in the region.
That momentum continued with the launch of new subsidiaries in Taiwan and Singapore and plans to expand more in this region focusing on Semiconductor corridor. With these moves, we are not just closer to our customers. We’re building long-term partnerships, supporting next-gen research, and investing in the future of science across Asia
Tescan now spans four R&D centers - in Brno, Fuveau, Ghent and Tempe - with nearly 1,000 people working across 80+ countries. We offer one of the widest imaging portfolios on the market, from SEM and micro-CT to plasma FIB-SEM and beyond. With the acquisition of ExpressLO’s patents, we are creating new possibilities in signal detection, and opening doors to faster, clearer, smarter results.
We have come a long way from that team of engineers in Brno. But the goal hasn’t changed: to build imaging systems that remove friction, empower discovery, and move science forward.
