Component and System-Level Breakthroughs Extend Environmental Remote Sensing from Detection to Prevention

Genes and mutations are key players in cancer, but the local neighborhood around a tumor is just as important. Researchers are using spatial biology methods to map this complex neighborhood or tumor microenvironment (TME) to uncover how nearby cells influence tumor growth and treatment response. In a recent article, our experts share how our new MoxiePlex system builds on decades of fluorescence imaging expertise to deliver fast, simple, and sensitive multiplex fluorescence detection. Read how we are supporting the accessibility of spatial biology, so researchers can focus on insights, not instruments.

New Terahertz Sensors



Hamamatsu is now mass-producing terahertz (THz) wave detection modules with built-in high-voltage power supply. We offer two products: THz photomultiplier tube (THz PMT) modules and THz image intensifiers (THz I.I.).

These products are designed to accelerate terahertz wave research for applications in drug discovery, analysis, semiconductors, nondestructive testing, and more. 

Summer Fun with Hamamatsu

Our components work hard all year…so we’re giving them a little R&R on the high seas.

Have a great summer from the coolest crew in photonics!
