Magnification lenses enable detailed microscopic analysis across medicine, science, and technology, supporting innovations like light-sheet microscopy, DIAMOND lenses, and image-guided robotic surgery for precision and research advancement.
Discover end-to-end solutions from optical and mechanical design to prototyping, offering customized lenses, system engineering, and advanced industrial optics for faster innovation and market-ready products.
SYLVINE bilateral telecentric C-Mount lenses deliver high-resolution imaging for precision measurement, tube and jewel inspection, ensuring accuracy, sensor compatibility, and reliable performance across industrial and scientific applications.
SWIR lenses, short for Short-Wave Infrared lenses, are specifically designed for industrial imaging applications that operate in the short-wave infrared spectrum.
SWIR filters, which transmit short-wave infrared light, reveal invisible details like overpainted scenes in paintings or bruises on fruit.
This line of ruggedized, precision C-mount lenses is the perfect choice for many demanding industrial applications, characterized by their exceptional resistance to shock and vibration.
The LightIR thermal imaging zoom lenses are lightweight, compact, and high-performance, designed for a range of reduced SWaP applications, including UAVs, aircraft vision systems, drones, and more.
The Melles Griot XPLAN Lens Series fluorescence microscope imaging systems enable the rapid development of breadboard instruments for next-gen sequencing, proteomics, and spatial biology applications.
