History
The company was founded in 1930 by Otto Curt Rudolph, who imported microscopes, polarimeters, saccharimeters, and other scientific instrumentation manufactured in Europe. Scientific instrument importation was not possible after the outbreak of World War II. Consequently, Mr. Rudolph began to manufacture a standard line of polarimeters, and undertook the custom design and manufacture of instrumentation for universities and laboratories. Since that time, the company has been engaged in research, design, manufacture, sales and service of products utilizing light as a measurement medium.
In 1970, the company changed its name from O.C. Rudolph & Sons, Inc. to Rudolph Research Corporation. The name was changed to reflect the modern and innovative philosophies of the company.
Rudolph Research began expanding its products to include a standard line of automatic ellipsometers, polarimeters and saccharimeters, as well as accessories for those instruments. Various models of these instruments are used in pure and applied research by universities, independent laboratories, government laboratories and industry. In addition, Rudolph Research production ellipsometers find widespread application in the semiconductor/integrated circuit industry where the measurement of film thickness in the angstrom region is important. Automatic polarimeters are used for research and process control in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical and related industries. Automatic saccharimeters are used routinely by sugar growers, processors, and refineries, as well as by governments to regulate both domestic and international sugar trade.
