About Micro-X

Micro-X Limited (the Company ) is an ASX listed hi-tech company developing and commercialising a range of innovative products for global health and security markets, based on proprietary cold cathode, carbon nanotube emitter technology. The electronic control of emitters with this technology enables X-ray products with significant reduction in size, weight and power requirements, enabling greater mobility and ease of use in existing x-ray markets and a range of new and unique security and defence applications. The Company has its core R&D, engineering and production capability at its facility in Adelaide, Australia.

The Company’s first product, marketed as the Carestream DRX Revolution Nano , is an ultra-lightweight digital medical X-ray system for the rapidly expanding mobile X-ray market in hospitals and healthcare. The Nano holds 510(k) and CE Mark certifications and is sold commercially in a number of global markets by the Company’s exclusive distributor. The Company has a portfolio of innovative products in development, aimed at customer solutions where there is little or no competition. This includes the Mobile Backscatter Imager or MBI which will image Improvised Explosive Devices for airport security, defence and counter-terrorism applications. The MBI is being jointly developed in partnership with Thales, a global supplier of defence and security technology systems, who are providing technical support and $10 million of funding.
