Advancing Humankind

Seeing tomorrow, now.

Believing in a better future for all is fundamental to who we are, which is why we have Research & Development labs all over the world, tasked with providing the answers to some of the world’s biggest questions.

From lenses which allow scientists to see the furthest reaches of space, to safer CT scanning of the smallest capillaries of a human lung, our extensive breakthroughs in imaging technology might surprise you. All are the result of investing more than 7% of our global sales into new products and technologies, and we are proud to file thousands of patents every year.
