Although a common misconception, individual optical lenses do not always form an image when the object plane is placed a focal length away from the lens.

What is an aspheric lens? In what applications are aspheric lenses used?

Aspherized Achromatic Lenses, exclusive to Edmund Optics, are doublet lenses consisting of two cemented optical elements that are matched for their color-correction ability and small RMS spot size.

Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day.

Edmund Optics® manufactures several different types of ruggedized imaging lens assemblies.

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

Polarization Directed Flat Lenses, which are formed with polymerized liquid crystal thin-film, create a focal length that is dependent on polarization state.

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.

Imaging lens assemblies are vital components for a wide range of cutting edge applications including machine vision, biomedical instruments, factory automation, and robotics.
