Abstract
The two separate firms gaining the Queen’s Award in 1967 for the Stereoscan electron microscope and the image-analysing computer were Cambridge Scientific Instruments and Metals Research respectively. In 1975 the two firms responsible for these instruments were merged to form the Cambridge Instrument Co. Ltd and therefore the developments of both innovations are considered in this one case-study.
