CAMECA is a manufacturer of scientific instruments, namely material analysis instruments based on Charged particle beam, ions, or electrons. The company was founded as a subsidiary of Compagnie générale de la télégraphie sans fil (CSF), in 1929, as « Radio-cinéma » at the time of the emergence of the talkies. The job was to design and manufacture Movie projectors for big cinema screening rooms. After World War II, spurred on by Maurice Ponte, director of CSF and a future member of the French Academy of Sciences, the company manufactured scientific instruments developed in French University laboratories: the Spark Spectrometer at the beginning of the 1950s, the Castaing Microprobe from 1958, and Secondary Ion Analysers from 1968. Also in the early 1950s the company settled the factory in Courbevoie, boulevard Saint-Denis where it remained for more than fifty years. The Spark Spectrometer was abandoned at the end of the 1950s.
