CAMECA SAS is a French manufacturer and world pioneer in microanalytical and metrology instrumentation, headquartered in Gennevilliers on the outskirts of Paris. As a specialized business unit of AMETEK, Inc., CAMECA traces its historical roots to the industrialization of the electron probe microanalyzer (Castaing microprobe) in the 1950s and has since established itself as the global benchmark in high-resolution elemental and isotopic analysis.
With manufacturing, R&D, and technology centers in France (Gennevilliers and Fontaine) and the United States, CAMECA instruments are installed in leading national laboratories, research universities, and semiconductor fabrication facilities worldwide.
