Overview:
The Gaertner Scientific Corporation began as a small scientific shop established by William Gaertner in 1896 on Chicago's Southside. The company, originally known as Wm. Gaertner & Co., manufactured astronomical and astrophysical measuring instruments for the Yerkes Observatory and interferometers for Professors Michelson and Stratton at the University of Chicago. In 1923 the company constructed a new building at 1201 Wrightwood Ave on Chicago's Northside and incorporated under the name of Gaertner Scientific Corporation. During this period the Toolmakers microscope, precision slides and the polarizing spectrometer (ellipsometer) were developed. When Mr. Gaertner passed away in 1949 at the age of 84 he left the company in a trust to the University of Chicago for a period of 20 years. In 1969 the company was sold to American Machine & Science Inc. of Elgin, Illinois who in turn sold it to the present management in 1978. The company has since relocated to newer facilities in Skokie, Illinois just outside of Chicago. Since it's founding, the organization has been engaged continuously in the design and manufacture of a variety of precision scientific instruments intended for use in research, industrial, educational and government laboratories and shops. Our main products are ellipsometers for thin film measurement, measuring microscopes for dimensional measurements as well as other specialized optical instruments... | |
