Award-winning design: Red Dot winner 2025

Where technical precision meets industrial excellence

The TRICLOPS ultra-broadband spectrometer has been honored with the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025. This recognition highlights our commitment to bridging the gap between high-end scientific performance and intuitive, user-centric design.

The Red Dot jury praised TRICLOPS for its ability to combine technical precision with a striking, balanced aesthetic optimized for high-performance spectrometry. Designed by our designer Carlotta Antonietti in collaboration with the NIREOS engineering team, the device features a slim, approachable housing that improves laboratory handling while facilitating heat dissipation.

“Triclops combines technical precision with user-friendly operation and a striking yet balanced design optimised for high-performance spectrometry.”
Statement by the Red Dot Jury

Why design matters in spectroscopy

Beyond its internal innovation, utilizing three sensors to cover a 400-4500 nm range, the TRICLOPS was built to transform the user experience. 

  • Intuitive operation: Laser-engraved contours and clear LED status indicators simplify complex measurements.
  • Form follows function: The sleek profile isn’t just for show; it enhances positioning in crowded lab setups and supports thermal management for the internal 24-bit ADC electronics.

 

Winning this award reinforces NIREOS’ position as a leader in the next generation of photonics, where advanced measurement technology is made accessible through superior design.
