XCAM

XCAM Scientific (part of Tibidabo Scientific Industries) is a UK-based manufacturer of CCD and CMOS imaging systems for space missions, scientific research, and industrial applications, headquartered in Northampton, England, with over 30 years of heritage in vacuum-compatible imaging solutions. Founded in 1995, the company exported its first CCD camera system internationally in 2002 and captured the world's first image of the Mimivirus in 2008, building a reputation for precision imaging under extreme conditions.

The company's product portfolio includes the C3D CubeSat Camera and NuSCIS space cameras, RIXSCam and RIXSCam Mini soft X-ray photon-counting detection systems, VacCam and CAVACam in-vacuum cameras, and particulate fallout monitors (PFO 1040 and Space PFO), alongside detector evaluation and imager control systems (CIS 120/125/300, ChromaD) and custom imaging subassemblies designed and tested to space standards.

XCAM's C3D CubeSat Camera has flown since 2014 with a 100% mission success rate, including on the AlSat Nano and UKube-1 missions, and the company has received ESA and UKSA funding for Earth observation and CubeSat innovation. XCAM Scientific serves space agencies, satellite manufacturers, synchrotron facilities, and scientific research institutions requiring precision imaging in extreme vacuum and radiation environments.
