    The patented technology behind PIXELTEQ is an exclusive micro-patterned optical
coating coupled with electro-optical integration expertise to deliver high-performance OEM
multispectral cameras, sensors and optical coatings. The PIXELTEQ portfolio includes
PixelCam(TM) and SpectroCam(TM) cameras, PixelSensor(TM) narrow-band photodiodes, and
patterned optical filters purpose-built for OEM applications. The company has unveiled a
new website, http://www.pixelteq.com [http://www.pixelteq.com ], featuring the full portfolio of
PIXELTEQ products - from thin film coatings to integrated electro-optical devices.

    "PIXELTEQ is a natural extension of our unique patterned-coating capability into the
multispectral space," explains Phil Buchsbaum, president of Ocean Thin Films. "At the
heart of each multispectral device is an array of micro-patterned optical filters
engineered to meet our clients' exacting requirements." The recently launched PixelCam,
for example, is an application-specific multispectral camera built around precise spectral
bands and ready for integration into instrumentation, handheld, mobile and aerial devices.

    "What the digital camera has done for conventional photography, PixelCam can do for
mainstream application-specific imaging," said Randel Mercer, VP of Business Development
at Ocean Thin Films. "Our clients are combining spectroscopy and imaging by using targeted
spectral bands from the UV through SWIR ranges to create live, data-rich images. From
microscopy to aerial imaging, some of the impacts can be life-changing: detecting cancer
earlier, improving agricultural yields, keeping food and water safe or solving crimes and
providing better security," Mercer added. "It's exciting to be a part of the solutions
that our customers are creating."
