What a blast hosting 20 enthusiastic students today as part of OptoNet e.V.‘s Master+ Tour 2026 in Jena! At optiX fab GmbH, we dived into our own story, explored the fascinating journey of EUV lithography, and even touched on EUV optics for solar observation—yes, we literally work on technology that helps us better understand the Sun. Huge shoutout to these bright and curious minds for the great discussions and energy you brought with you today. A big thank you to OptoNet e.V. for organizing this fantastic tour and orchestrating such a great experience. Special thanks as well to Natalja for the smooth organization—and to Anja for taking the time to go behind the scenes with us. Here’s to future innovators and many more optical adventures! “Stay hungry, stay foolish.” – Steve Jobs
