Edmund Optics^®

Learn how to assemble a microscope system using the award-winning Edmund Optics 120i Plan APO Infinity Corrected Objectives.

A new generation of harsh environment lenses has been developed to support the spread of automation and protect their imaging systems.

The Future Depends on Optics®

SWIR, or short-wave infrared, is light invisible to the human eye but detectable by specialized infrared imaging lenses and cameras.

Laser beam expanders consist of transmissive configurations, with Galilean or Keplerian designs, and reflective configurations, which use a series of mirrors, similar to microscope designs.

Join Stefaan Vandendriessche, Sales and Applications Engineer, as he demonstrates a Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscope built from stock components found in the Edmund Optics catalog.

Modular accessories adapt the Spectrolight Mighty Light Illuminator for tuning to a specific wavelength, fiber coupling, collimating, homogenizing, and more

The Mighty Light is a self-contained, low-noise, tunable source of broadband visible and NIR light featuring a tungsten halogen lamp and output power up to 2W

Designed for modularity and flexibility, Edmund Optics' TECHSPEC Optical Cage System components are high precision alternatives to complex optical alignment systems.

The expansion of automation has made the ruggedization of imaging lenses from shocks, vibrations, and temperature swings more important than ever before.

LC (Low Cost) Fixed YAG Beam Expanders are simple 2-element, cost-effective solutions to beam expansion.

Learn about ghost images in optical systems, which are faint second images caused by reflections within an optical component, from Kristina Kaszei.

Short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging applications require specialized imaging optics, as lenses designed for visible use are not optimized for SWIR wavelengths

Join Edmund Optics' real band of employees as they rock out to the holidays -- optics style.

Join Greg Hollows, Director of the Imaging Business Unit and EO's Imaging Expert, as he reviews some Best Practice to consider when designing an imaging system.

Learn about the key impacts of temperature on imaging performance and how the athermalization of lenses can maintain performance in harsh environments.

Several of the most interesting trends in optics and photonics of 2021 were the landing of the Perseverance Rover on Mars, Stemmed Mirrors, minimizing thermal lensing in ultrafast laser systems, and developments in ultraviolet lasers.

Optical Filters are used to selectively transmit or block certain wavelengths or wavelength ranges within optical systems.

Athermalization ruggedization is done to maintain imaging performance through significant temperature swings, which is ideal for applications like aerospace.

Large Diameter Gimbal Optical Mounts available from Edmund Optics are used to integrate large precision optical components, such as mirrors, into OEM and benchtop systems.

Fresnel lenses are composed of a series of concentric grooves etched into one side of a sheet of plastic. Fresnel lenses are unlike typical spherical or aspherical optical lenses.

Optotune Focus-Tunable lenses feature a liquid polymer substrate with continuous focusability.

Axicons are conical-shaped optical components used to create a ring-shaped beam.

These compact, high-resolution, infinite conjugate lenses are ideal for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and other mobile robotics systems.

Liquid Lenses electronically autofocus imaging systems for machine vision by changing shape in response to an applied current or voltage.

The UAV Series Lenses are compact, high-resolution, infinite conjugate lenses ideal for UAVs and other mobile robotics systems.

The TECHSPEC® Vega™ Laser Line Beam Expanders from Edmund Optics® are divergence adjustable to compensate for input beam divergence.

TECHSPEC® Liquid Lens M12 Imaging Lenses from Edmund Optics combine a high-resolution with the electronic auto-focus of an integrated liquid lens

Monitoring and regulating air pollution is an essential step towards creating a cleaner environment.
