=History= Phenoptix was started in 2003 with £20 and very little free time, as a way to make some pocket money for an impoverished student.

The name phenoptix comes from jamming together the prefix pheno and the word optics, exchanging the cs with an x to make the company look edgy and modern. Pheno is a term commonly used in Chemistry and usually denotes the presence of an aromatic Benzene ring in a chemical compound. What is less well known is where the term comes from and what it actually means. Pheno is from the Greek Phaino, meaning to appear, show forth, to bear or bring to light.
