Heliotis at Quantum Industry Day 2026 – Visualizing Magnetic Fields with the heliCam C4

On October 13, 2026, the Swiss quantum community will gather at the Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland (QIDIS) in Zurich. Heliotis will be exhibiting and demonstrating a practical application of our Lock-in technology in the field of quantum sensing. Measuring Magnetic Fields with NV Centers in Diamond NV centers (nitrogen-vacancy centers) in diamond possess quantum […]

VISION 2026 kicks off this week – meet Heliotis in Stuttgart

This week is the time: From October 6 to 8, 2026, the international machine vision industry will gather at VISION in Stuttgart – and Heliotis will be there again! At our booth C71 in Hall 10, we’ll demonstrate live how our high-precision heliInspect white-light interferometers tackle demanding 3D measurement tasks in industrial surface inspection and […]

New Tutorial Series: Getting Started with the Heliotis Gen4 SDK

Our new four-part tutorial series provides a step-by-step guide to getting started with the Heliotis Gen4 SDK. These short videos are aimed at developers and integrators looking to incorporate Heliotis Gen4 devices into their own applications—from installing C4Utility to performing the first 3D measurement with HALCON.

Three New Research Papers Featuring the heliCam™ – From Magnetic Fields to Millimeter Waves

The heliCam™ does more than just make weak optical signals visible. Combined with suitable physical measurement principles, it can also provide information on quantities that a camera does not directly capture – such as magnetic fields or millimeter waves. Three new publications demonstrate this potential from two very different perspectives. One paper utilizes a rubidium […]

Firmware Updates 1.11/1.12 – Gen4 Platform Improvements for heliInspect™ and heliCam™

With firmware versions 1.11 and 1.12, Heliotis is consistently advancing the Gen4 platform for heliInspect and heliCam. In addition to numerous detailed improvements, users benefit in particular from higher measurement accuracy of the heliInspect white light interferometers, a larger vertical measurement range, new integration options, and additional functions for the heliCam Lock-in cameras. As usual, […]

Heliotis CSR 2026: Projects close to our team’s hearts

For Heliotis, social responsibility is more than an aspiration. Inspired by the values of our co-founder, the Albert Koechlin Foundation, we want to help make the world a little better – in our region and beyond. In 2026, Heliotis is once again providing a total of CHF 50,000 for non-profit projects. As every year, this […]

Three new research papers featuring the heliCam™ – When images turn into new information

Today, the heliCam™ is used in a wide range of scientific disciplines – from quantum sensing and magnetic field microscopy to photothermal microscopy. Three recent research papers impressively demonstrate how modern Lock-in imaging goes far beyond pure signal detection. Although the applications appear very different, all three papers pursue the same goal: to extract additional […]

Visit Heliotis at EPHJ 2026 in Geneva – Booth N07

Quality control requirements in the watch industry are continuously increasing. Ever tighter tolerances, demanding surfaces, and a growing degree of automation require powerful yet easily integrable measurement solutions. At EPHJ 2026, Heliotis presents modern 3D measurement technology for precision manufacturing – from flexible at-line measurement to complete integration into automated production and inspection systems. Precise […]

New release: heliAlgo™ 1.6.0

With the current release 1.6.0, the Heliotis AlgoLibrary (“heliAlgos”) has been further expanded and enhanced technically. The library provides core algorithms for evaluation, calibration, and quality analysis of interferometric 3D measurement data and can be integrated directly into existing applications. Many of these functions are also used internally in our reference and production tools and […]
