About Us

Opus Instruments are the team behind the Apollo and Osiris cameras, world leaders in the field of infrared reflectography (IRR).  Our cameras have been used to examine thousands of artworks at leading institutions, galleries and educational establishments worldwide, making notable contributions within the fields of art conservation, art preservation, and art restoration.

Infrared Reflectography (IRR) is a non-invasive method of studying a painting by looking beneath the visible layers of paint. This allows you to examine the underdrawing along with any changes or pentimenti present in the work.

Modern sensor technology, such as the InGaAs sensors used in Apollo and Osiris, allows us to build on these techniques with higher resolution and improved sensitivity to reveal a painting’s secrets like never before.
