Optimax has been successful in learning to make synchrotron mirrors — creating a new niche for the New York business and for the U.S.
This work came about during the development of a new, high-tech x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) microscope prototype being conducted by a methods and instrumentation development team (MIDT) at the NSLS. The MIDT is led by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is a collaborative effort with the NIST Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)-funded company called R. Browning Consultants.
