About Sigray

WHO WE ARE

An innovative, fast-growing company bringing the power of the synchrotron to laboratories worldwide

Sigray, Inc. is a San Francisco Bay Area company founded in 2013 with the aim to accelerating scientific progress by providing powerful, synchrotron-grade research capabilities in its laboratory x-ray systems. These systems represent a major step-change from existing laboratory x-ray systems, and their breakthrough performance is uniquely enabled by Sigray’s patented innovations in x-ray components. Sigray’s products have been rapidly adopted by prominent scientific leaders in Asia, America, and Europe. The systems are used by a diverse range of researchers, including both academic (materials scientists, battery researchers, biologists, geologists, etc.) and industrial (semiconductor, pharmaceutical companies, catalysts, battery) researchers.

Dr. Wenbing Yun and Ms. Sylvia Lewis co-founded Sigray. Dr. Yun previously founded the X-ray microscope company Xradia, Inc. in 2000, which grew rapidly and profitably to over 100 employees and was acquired by Carl Zeiss in July 2013. He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), elected for his contributions to and leadership in x-ray microscopy, and has received four prestigious R&D 100 awards for his work on development of x-ray microscopes. Sigray holds over 60 patents on x-ray component and system technologies.

Sigray’s team is currently comprised of x-ray professionals with extensive experience in x-ray source, optics, and instrumentation development. It includes former synchrotron beamline and synchrotron scientific program leaders, x-ray source pioneers, and x-ray optics specialists who have designed and produced some of the highest efficiency, highest resolution x-ray optics in the world.
