About us

Advancing our Understanding of Vision and the Brain.

Our key expertise is creating equipment to help scientists investigating the function of the eye and brain.

We supply our equipment all over the world. The majority of our customers are based in universities, in a range of departments including vision, ophthalmology, cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology and human factors. We design and manufacture our own product range, including visual stimulus generators, specialist displays, display calibration, data acquisition, eye tracking, response devices and vision tests. Part of our range is designed specifically for use in functional imaging environments, while some is for general laboratory use. We work with carefully chosen distributors, and also resell selected products from other manufacturers. Our goal is to provide all our customers with the best possible products, straightforward purchasing and logistics, and high quality local support.

 

Proven Products

For 25 years, Cambridge Research Systems' unique range of Tools for Vision Science and Functional Imaging has been ubiquitous in laboratories throughout the world, and cited in thousands of papers in fields including vision, ophthalmology, neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology and human factors. Our equipment provides the precision and control needed for scientific applications, while remaining practical and affordable.

 

Candid Advice

As a scientist, you need to know the advantages and limitations of the technology you use. There are no secrets to Cambridge Research Systems' products - just great engineering, which we are happy to explain. We provide key information on this website, but please get in touch with your questions. Email to enquiries@crsltd.com is usually quickest, but feel free to use whatever method of contact you prefer. Post sales technical support and downloads can be accessed using the MyCRS system.

 

Honest Pricing

We're also open about our pricing. You'll see guide prices in Pounds Sterling next to most items to give an indication how much equipment costs. To see other currencies, or request a formal quotation, please create a MyCRS account. If you are located in Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan or the USA, please feel free to contact our representatives for pricing information in your local currency.
