Research and Education

Research and education have been part of FOERSTER’s DNA from the very beginning. From pioneering magnetic measurement principles to developing today’s advanced testing and analysis systems, FOERSTER provides precise, reliable instruments that support scientific discovery and technical training worldwide.

FOERSTER’s origins are deeply rooted in research and innovation. In 1937, company founder Prof. Friedrich Förster discovered the influence of the Earth’s magnetic field on test coils while studying the magnetic properties of metals. This finding led to the development of the renowned Förster probe – a milestone in magnetic field measurement still in use today. Modern systems such as three-axis magnetometers and time- or frequency-based analysis tools continue this legacy, enabling high-precision studies in physics, materials science, and geophysics. From laboratory research to technical education, FOERSTER technology helps scientists, students, and engineers explore and understand the world with accuracy and confidence.
