Engineers are available to assist.
Edmund Optics® employs a wide variety of metrology equipment to ensure the quality of the optical components and assemblies manufactured in our 8 global manufacturing facilities. We also conduct in-house testing of imaging performance and environmental testing for temperature, humidity, and shock and vibration. Edmund Optics has a proven track record of tailored testing for custom optical assemblies. Product testing and certification reports are also available upon request. Our metrology equipment, including interferometers, profilometers, spectrophotometers, and coordinate measurement machines (CMMs), is one component of Edmund Optics' strict global quality program.
