During the design stage of an optical product – some designers look to reduce cost by incorporating ‘off-the-shelf’ lenses. Not only can this compromise achievable performance, compared to an...

As part of our ongoing program of continuous quality improvement we have just completed a major refurbishment of our production area. In addition to installing a new, higher specification air...

Optical product designers for the Infrared waveband (8-14 microns) are drawn towards using off-the-shelf IR lenses because of their typically lower cost. However, when it comes to an application...

For monitoring applications prone to temperature fluctuations, it is important to design optics that are insensitive to thermal change in the surrounding environment. Developing an athermalized...

An important part of quality assurance of food, produce and grain, is how inspection and sorting systems are used to help weed out products not fit for consumption. In a new interview with PCN...

Our optical engineers have designed a new motorised lens that allows rapid remote adjustment of the iris to help compensate for the hugely different lighting conditions encountered during the day...

As a leader in radiation resistant lenses for nuclear, space and medical applications for over two decades – we have an unmatched range of standard fixed focus and zoom lens designs to draw upon....

If a suitable off-the-shelf lens is available and it meets all your optical and environmental requirements, then why look further. However, if your application is more demanding, to justify the...
