History

The FEI company was founded in 1971 as a supplier to the semiconductor industry. The current company was formed by the 1997 merger between FEI and Philips Electron Optics^[2], and the 1999 acquisition of ion beam company Micrion. As such, the company can trace its roots in electron microscopy to the early commercial instruments produced by Philips Electron Optics in the 1940s. On December 20, 2006 Philips Business Electronics International B.V. sold its shares of common stock in FEI Company reducing its shareholding in FEI to zero.

Year 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar). ... The electron microscope is a microscope that can magnify very small details with high resolving power due to the use of electrons rather than light to scatter off material, magnifying at levels up to 500,000 times. ...
