Our information brochure

All the key information about ANAXAM – presented in a clear and engaging format:

All this ANAXAM talk sounds like rocket science?

You're not alone. What we do can indeed sound a bit... extraterrestrial.

That’s why we created a short and lovingly illustrated story to explain what ANAXAM is really all about – in a way that’s fun and easy to understand. Discover how we make the invisible visible, how we help industry see deep inside materials – no crystal ball needed – and why, even though we deal with a “UFO”, we don’t actually fly one.
