Regular readers of this newsletter know that Metrolab is investing heavily in a new generation of instruments, in particular the THM1176 and PT2026. But what’s new? Many of the changes are driven by industry trends: faster and denser electronic components, high-performance processors, digital signal processing, high-level development tools, standardized high-speed interfaces, and complex graphical user interfaces. We exploit these developments to fulfill our own technological agenda, for example flexible data acquisition systems and reusable firmware/software components. The end result should be an instrument that is easier to use, easier to manufacture, easier to maintain, and – hopefully – offers even better performance. And, of course, provides me with interesting work! |
Still going strong after 25 years! |

In the last year, the combined effect of reduced sales and continued high R&D investments have certainly left their mark, but the company continues to be financially sound. We look to the future with a renewed product line and a motivated team, and we hope to continue providing you with the best solutions for your precision magnetic field measurements.

The IBA group, a global proton therapy machine specialist, has built nearly 300 cyclotrons since being founded in 1986. Its success is based notably on leading-edge magnetic measurement expertise: each accelerator requires thousands of high-precision Hall probe measurements. We took a look inside with Yves Paradis, in charge of magnetic measurements at IBA. 
Metrolab's magnetic field cameras (MFC) are now benchmark solutions for the high-precision mapping of intense magnetic fields and, in being perfected over the years, have gained the trust of all MRI manufacturers worldwide. We look back on a technological adventure that began nearly 20 years ago and is now seeing new perspectives opening up with the emergence of pulsed NMR probes.
