Liquid lenses have many features, are small in size, and adjust focus quickly to adapt to objects located at various working distances. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

Greg Hollows, Vice President of the Imaging Business Unit for Edmund Optics, discusses the three different types of ruggedization for imaging lenses and how they can maintain the optical performance of your imaging lens.

Image Quality of a Telecentric with the Flexibility of a Liquid Lens

While working with machine vision, there are different types of filters that can be used to alter the image. Find out about the different types at Edmund Optics.

Anti-reflection (AR) coatings are applied to optical components to increase throughput and reduce hazards caused by back-reflections.

Single-Material Aspheric Achromats correct chromatic aberrations with a unique geometry, leading to numerous benefits over conventional achromatic lenses.

Rare earth materials are used in many optics. Find an explanation, examples, and more information about rare earths at Edmund Optics.

Athermalization is a type of ruggedization that mitigates the harmful effects of thermal expansion and defocus in optical and imaging systems.

Time to Replace Spherical Elements with Aspheric Lenses

Athermal optical systems are not prone to temperature changes in an environment. Learn more about the importance of having an athermal design at Edmund Optics.

Testing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is not standardized, so understanding how your optics were tested is critical for predicting performance.

Traditional spherical lenses are evolving due to the increasing demands of applications. Learn about the future of spherical lenses at Edmund Optics.
