In the December issue of the magazine, Szigethy discussed the technological advancements that have consistently enabled the company to produce top-quality microscopy sample preparation instruments over the past decades. Additionally, he explored the potential future applications of ion beam guns in the fields of semiconductor and battery manufacturing.

Discovering the Invisible

The successes of Katalin Karikó and Ferenc Krausz have brought the reputation of Hungarian scientific research far and wide. However, beyond academic achievements, we less frequently hear about a Hungarian technology company representing world-class quality, setting the pace for the development of a particular industry. In the field of electron microscopy sample preparation, Technoorg Linda's ion beam sample preparation products have been considered the world's highest-quality equipment for over 30 years.

"Nowadays, the possibilities for further development of cutting-edge technologies must be sought in the nanoscale, which decisively determines the arsenal of tools and techniques for examination and intervention," explains András Szigethy. "In this world, different rules apply, and researchers must determine development directions along entirely novel lines of thought. The defining industries of the decade not only influence the well-being of people and the development of our environment but also crucially shape the fundamental strategy of nations and continents. Examples of such areas include semiconductor manufacturing and the battery industry. Our company primarily seeks solutions to the acute problems in these sectors. Our expertise lies in exploring materials and atomic structures without influencing the original conditions in any way."
