” width=”500″ height=”373″ />A leading radiotherapy equipment supplier approached us to design a high-resolution lens able to withstand, and precisely focus, the high levels of radiation produced by their synchrotron device onto...
Security of supply for key optics

Security of supply for key optics

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 optimised custom design, but it also means that you have little control over...
Better, cleaner production environment

Better, cleaner production environment

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 circulation / filtration system in our clean room, we have also installed...
Application optimised IR lenses

Application optimised IR lenses

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 that optically or mechanically requires something more demanding an...
Why choose athermalized optics?

Why choose athermalized optics?

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 optical design, is especially critical because temperature changes can...
