Designing optics for micro and nanosatellites

Currently miniature optical systems for nanosatellites and microsatellites offer lower resolution capability compared to dedicated optical systems installed on large Earth remote sensing systems. A short new article describes the advantages of these lower cost...

Ruggedised lenses for operating in harsh environments

Lenses used in factory automation, industrial inspection, in-field military, and autonomous system applications can be exposed to #vibrations, shocks, temperature changes, radiation and contaminants that could cause a standard lens to fail during operation. Learn more...

Custom Zoom Lenses: Concept to Delivery

Not all optical applications can be adequately served by an off-the-shelf zoom lens. A new video describes our experience in developing application optimised zoom lenses to exactly fit your needs. Whether you need a tracking zoom lens to fit into a restricted space...

Modified to suit your needs

Does one of our standard lenses roughly fit what you were looking for, but you would prefer something optimised to your application. No problem. We are happy to modify our existing designs to better suit your requirements. For instance – adding a motorising kit...

Facilities & Capabilities

Choosing the optimum OEM design and development partner for your new optical product can be a tricky proposition. To help you make this decision we have produced a new video that provides an informative introduction to our in-house facilities and the capabilities that...

Monitoring the Ocean depths

Our specialist lenses are not just popular with space and satellite companies, they also lie at the heart of #autonomouscamera systems monitoring methane seep and hydrothermal vent sites deep in the Pacific Ocean. Designed for real-time imaging via an Internet...
