The products are used in many sectors, ranging from UV-VIS to NIR, and enable applications to be performed easily in the fields of analytics and process measurement technology. Mikropack develops, produces and distributes a wide range of miniature spectrometers, light sources, software and accessories to enable these applications. Ten years ago, Mikropack merged its innovative products with the globally successful spectroscopy product line from Ocean Optics Inc., Florida. The Ocean Optics spectrometer was the perfect accompaniment for Mikropack’s fibre-optic light sources, Ulbricht spheres, multiplexers, mapping tables and wide range of other accessories. Mikropack is rapidly being expanded into a central European base for the Photonics Group. Mikropack is directly responsible for the distribution of all products for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Another core area of Mikropack’s operations is the development, manufacture and distribution of measuring systems in the thin film metrology sector. | 20 | |||

The company was converted into a corporation (AG=Aktiengesellschaft) in July 2007. Retina Implant’s scientists primarily focus on patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary condition that can lead to complete blindness in just a few years. Retina Implant is developing retinal implants that are intended to restore vision after blindness has occurred. The development work focuses on an active, sub-retinal silicon chip with tiny photo-sensors which control an electronic switch enabling the nerve cells of the retina to be supplied with more or less electrical stimulation, depending on the brightness. These send impulses via the optic nerve to the brain which can then generate a picture from these signals. Only recently, 2 blind patients were implanted the sub-retinal chip. Since undergoing surgery, both patients are able to make out shapes. In April 2006, as part of a capital increase, Mediplan GmbH took around a 25% share in Retina Implant AG by investing Euro 7.5 million in an initial tranche. Mediplan has also committed to investing a further Euro 7.5 million in the company once CE accreditation has been gained, which is required before a medical product can be marketed in Europe. The newly acquired funding will enable Retina Implant to finance clinical trials and the cost of approving the chip for market until it achieves break-even. Retina Implant AG is hoping to launch a fully functional chip in about two years' time. An important step towards reaching this goal is the recent ISO certification of the company. | Walter-G.
