Scientific-camera manufacturer whose ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 production sits in Santa Iria de Azóia, Loures (Atik Cameras, Unipessoal Lda, NIF 505474700, incorporated 17 May 2001 as Perseu – Comércio de Equipamento para Informática e Astronomia; €515,000 share capital; CAE 26702). Atik is a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK-listed SDI Group plc and the parent brand of Opus Instruments and QSI Imaging. On 17 September 2026 the University of Oslo concluded a €59,149 contract with the Portuguese company for a high-resolution infrared reflectography camera for its conservation department (TED 655932-2026).
Atik’s Nordic sale is small but precisely documented. The University of Oslo awarded Atik Cameras, Unipessoal Lda a €59,149 contract, concluded on 17 September 2026 and published on TED on 23 September (notice 655932-2026), for a high-resolution infrared camera used in infrared reflectography — the technique conservators use to see underdrawings beneath paint layers — at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History. It is the same product line Atik sold to the Czech National Museum in Prague in December 2024 for CZK 1.54 million (TED 772113-2024), through its Opus Instruments brand.
The company is Portuguese by incorporation and manufacturing, British by ownership. Registered in Loures on 17 May 2001 as Perseu, a computer- and astronomy-equipment trader, it became Atik Cameras, Unipessoal Lda and now has €515,000 of share capital, a CAE for photographic and cinematographic equipment, and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001-certified production at Santa Iria de Azóia. Atik is a wholly owned subsidiary of SDI Group plc, the UK instruments group, and acts as parent brand for Opus Instruments (infrared reflectography) and QSI Imaging. Its cameras are used in astrophotography, space-domain awareness, life sciences and industrial imaging.
Most Portuguese electronics exports to the Nordics are invisible components; Atik is a rare case of a Portuguese-made, Portuguese-registered instrument sold under its own brand to a Nordic public buyer, with the contract value on the public record. For Nordic universities, museums and research institutes, it also shows that scientific-grade imaging hardware is being engineered and built in the Lisbon area.
