About Us
FOTON, s. r. o. was established in 2000 with the mission to deliver high-tech products and professional services in the field of scientific instrumentation.
We specialize in electronics, optoelectronics, micropositioning automation, and radiation detection; our activities however cover more broadly the field of photonics, plasma diagnostics, and instrumental engineering. Already in the first years of our operation, it has become evident that our services go beyond the scientific sector and, thanks to our exceptional experience in this field, we are able to provide superior services also in production and commercial projects.
Foton Scientific
We specialize in research projects and scientific instruments. Our technologies cover electronics, optoelectronics, micro-positioning and radiation detection. We also supply solutions in photonics, plasma diagnostics and instrumentation.
Foton Industrial
This branch deals with the automation of industrial technologies and large-scale physical engineering applications. We offer design and implementation of electrical equipment for machines and technologies. We also create relevant software and its implementation.
Our Philosophy
Joy of Technology
We believe that technology is not just a tool, but a source of joy, inspiration, and discovery.
Our claim “Joy of Technology” expresses the deeper meaning behind what we do — it shows that even the most complex scientific solutions can be created with enthusiasm, creativity, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
In every device we develop, there is a spark of our joy for discovery, innovation, and honest craftsmanship. From highly specialized instruments for research laboratories to the fine precision of electronics — technology is not just our work, it’s our passion.
“Joy of Technology” is the mindset we live by:
Joy of Discovery
We collaborate with leading research teams.
Together, we explore new questions, share knowledge, and help turn scientific visions into reality.
Joy of Creation
We develop new devices with attention to detail.
Each solution is thoughtfully shaped with an eye for technical and aesthetic balance.
Joy of Purpose
Our instruments serve science and progress.
They support fundamental research, innovation, and breakthroughs that shape the future.
