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 accelerate 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 are 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 an Optical Society of America (OSA) fellow, 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, and includes former synchrotron beamline and synchrotron scientific program leaders, x-ray source pioneers, and x-ray optics specialists who designed and produced some of the highest efficiency, highest resolution x-ray optics in the world.
