Deltapix

What Deltapix does

DeltaPix ApS is a privately held Danish company (founded 2003) headquartered in Smørum, with a development office in Nibe, that develops, manufactures, and markets digital microscope systems, microscope cameras, and modular InSight software for industrial, forensic, biomedical, geoscience, and quality-control customers. Its product architecture is a platform-plus-modules model: DeltaPix InSight software (a free Basic tier plus paid add-on modules for Extended Depth of Field/HDR/Stitching, 3D Topography and Surface Texture Analysis, Segmentation/Counting/Multiphase Analysis, and Automation/Stage and Microscope Control) plugs into two hardware pillars — microscope cameras (USB 3.0 Invenio families including the new EIV and ExIV generations, HDMI stand-alone cameras, 4K HDMI/USB cameras, and Peltier-cooled cameras for fluorescence) and complete digital microscopes (the DPX M series with 3D topography, the DPX IM200-4K and IMF inspection microscopes, the DPX MTK/MT telecentric measurement system, the DPX VF10 forensic microscope, and the recently launched DPX F1000). Notable technical components include proprietary Synchronized Delta-Movement (SDM) introduced in InSight 7.6.0 for faster 3D topography and EDoF, Sony Exmor back-illuminated CMOS sensors with two-stage Peltier cooling up to 42°C below ambient in cooled models, and low-noise analog engineering (intelligent wiring, grounding, shielding, and dust-free clean chamber assembly) that the company claims delivers measurably lower noise than competitors using the same sensors.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales (digital microscopes and cameras with entry prices from approximately €2,200 for the DPX M80 and €2,810 for the DPX M200; most SKUs are quote-based), one-time software module licensing with a hardware dongle required for advanced features such as stage control and topography, OEM and licensing arrangements to embed DeltaPix technology into third-party offerings, and accessory/objective resale (e.g., Mitutoyo objectives, Navitar lenses, illuminators, anti-vibration tables). Go-to-market is primarily indirect through an international selective network of resellers and dealers, supplemented by direct enterprise sales (with a new Sales Director mandate to expand coverage in Europe and Asia), event-driven demand generation (Control Stuttgart 2025 with jumavis GmbH; DTU showcase), content marketing (newsletter, blog, video tutorials, manuals), and an e-commerce webshop for accessories and lower-priced items. With 1–10 employees, no disclosed revenue, and a 20+ year operating history, DeltaPix positions itself as a focused, channel-led niche player offering an integrated hardware-software microscopy platform that integrates with most major microscope brands (C-mount) and motor/stage controllers (Zeiss MTB, Prior, Märzhäuser, Ludl, Siskiyou, Standa, Aerotec).

One-time hardware purchases priced per unit (e.g., DPX M80 from €2200, DPX M200 from €2810).
2. Microscope software licensing (DeltaPix InSight): InSight Basic is included free with most DeltaPix cameras. Advanced modules (EDF, HDR, Topography 3D, Segmentation/Counting, Automation/Stage Control, Microscope & Stage Interface) sold as optional add-ons. A hardware dongle is required for advanced functions like stage control and topography.
3. OEM and licensing arrangements: DeltaPix also makes OEM and licensing arrangements for its technologies to expand its use into additional or existing market segments.
4. Accessories and consumables: Sells accessories such as microscope illuminators, controllers, anti-vibration tables, calibration slides, machine vision lenses (telecentric, 2/5/9 megapixel), Mitutoyo objectives, stereo and compound microscopes, and ergonomic controllers (ErgoFocus).
