Custom Solutions

A Leader in Designing and Developing Custom Precision Lens Assemblies

Our custom component and subsystem designs are driven by innovative ideas, unconventional solutions, requirements and applications brought to us by our customers. These unique applications often require optical solutions that go beyond the limits of commercial systems. 

We have extensive background IP and a catalog of designs to help get things started and shorten design time. Our expertise includes designing multi-element high NA precision assemblies with diffraction-limited performance as well as objectives for single wavelength sampling with modest resolution demands requiring commercial tolerance assembly techniques.

Our custom optical designs, including water dipping and water and oil immersion objective lenses, have been used for:

  • DNA Sequencing
  • InVitro Fertilization
  • 3D and Thick Tissue Imaging
  • Light Sheet Microscopy
  • Cleared Tissue Imaging
  • Cell Sorting
  • Cell Viability and Analysis
  • Diagnostics
  • Immunoimaging

Rapid Prototyping

We support you from proof of concept through the design process and into production. We work with large established OEM Life Science and Industrial equipment makers along with researchers and new start up companies.

In all cases, we help jump-start your project by providing:

1. Quick feasibility analysis of the product development project,

2. Preliminary estimate of the design,

3. Rapid turn-around of diffraction limited performing samples,

4. Seamless transition to volume production, and

5. Unit-to-unit consistency for the lifetime of your product’s production.
