About Starlight Xpress

For 30 years, Starlight Xpress Ltd has designed and manufactured a range of cooled & uncooled Charge Coupled Device (CCD) cameras along with associated imaging accessories for Astronomy.

With the significant improvements in CMOS technology, CCD is fast becoming redundant. The company's objective is to build new CMOS cameras to serve the astronomy market and expand to the Life Science market; as it is considered a high growth area with the new CMOS cameras being much more suited to this market.
