About us
If you are not a scientist and you don't have a clue, what we are actually doing: we have a little video that explains in 2 minutes what X-ray crystallography is and what we do about it.

| 2014 | marXperts GmbH is founded and purchases the rights for the mar345 detector, the mardtb goniostat systems and marmux data collections system from Marresearch GmbH. New owners of marXperts GmbH are Claudio Klein (managing director), Goeran Helgesson (managing director), Hong Wang (sales and service China) and Maik Neubacher (service director), long time staff members at Marresearch GmbH. The new company marXperts GmbH continues to sell and service the mar345 detectors and mardtb goniostats as well as the products of Rayonix, LLC. |
| 2008 | marUSA is renamed to Rayonix, LLC. New owners are Michael Blum and two minor co-owners. |
| 2007 | Introduction of the marmux complete data collection system consisting of a mar345 detector, a mardtb desktop beamline and a micro-focus generator (Xenocs or Incoatec) |
