Scientific Digital Imaging plc ("SDI") is focused on the application of digital imaging technology to the needs of the scientific community. Its principal subsidiary is Synoptics Limited ("Synoptics"), which designs and manufactures special-purpose instruments for use in the life sciences, principally supplying customers in the academic and research sectors. In October 2008 SDI acquired the entire share capital of Artemis CCD Limited and Perseu Comércio de Equipamento Para Informática e Astronomia, SA, companies that design and manufacture high-sensitivity cameras for both astronomical and life sciences applications and whose products are used in instruments manufactured by Synoptics.

The Board intends to pursue a focused strategy of acquiring digital imaging companies in the life sciences sector and in other scientific markets, as well as seeking to generate organic growth. The Board believes there are many businesses operating within the market, a number of which have not achieved critical mass, and that this presents an ideal opportunity for consolidation. This strategy will be primarily focused within Europe but, where opportunities exist, acquisitions in the United States and elsewhere will also be considered.

The main country of operation is the United Kingdom.
