CETAC Technologies and Photon Machines joined forces back in June 2010 with a view to advance laser ablation technology for elemental analysis, and to offer a full range of products globally. This collaboration brought tog​ether the experience in Photon Machines’ design team with the sample introduction expertise of CETAC. This partnership has taken the next natural step and both companies have merged under the Teledyne Instruments banner. 

Teledyne Photon Machines, a brand of Teledyne CETAC Technologies, provides laser ablation systems ranging from CO₂ and diode lasers, through 213 nm solid state Nd:YAG, 193 excimer laser systems and femtosecond laser systems. In addition to this, the company provides accessories to enhance the capabilities of laser ablation systems.
