奥罗克斯 Ltd was established in 2004 to commercialise and build upon pioneering work from the Scanning Optical Microscopy Group at the University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science.
A leader in the design and manufacture of innovative optical imaging 设备 , 奥罗克斯 has received multiple business and technology awards including, the Queen'的企业奖，物理研究所（IOP）创新奖和R&D100 award.
奥罗克斯's leading product is the Clarity Laser Free Confocal (LFC) unit, which is based on the award winning 奥罗克斯 SD62; previously sold by Andor as the Revolution DSD and by Zeiss as the Vivatome. The Clarity LFC is the first in a portfolio of new second generation technology products under development by 奥罗克斯. This same 奥罗克斯 technology is used by 3DHistech in their slide scanner product and by Zeiss in their SmartProof5 materials product.
Clarity LFC的革命性设计通过其可连接到任何常规显微镜并提供实时获取的高质量3D图像的能力，为更广泛的用户群体提供了价格合理的共聚焦显微镜。
奥罗克斯 has built on the success of the Clarity LFC, developing a core imaging technology that lies at the heart of a new range of confocal microscopy systems. These systems address specific market needs in applications ranging from live cell imaging and high throughput screening to materials inspection.
