Edmund Optics^®

Learn about EO's most popular family of optical lenses and discover if achromatic lenses are ideal for your next application.

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

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

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

Telecentric lenses eliminate perspective and measurement error, and are ideal for measurement and gauging applications.

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

Edmund Optics imaging and machine vision lenses are robustly designed for use in harsh environments and are available in a number of options for the most demanding applications.

These high-resolution C-mount lenses are optimized for demanding factory automation and machine vision environments.

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

High-performance machine vision lenses with iris adjustment and up to 20 megapixels of resolution for 1.85μm pixel size sensors

The TECHSPEC® C Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses are high-resolution FA lenses designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics for use in machine vision factory automation and inspection applications.

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

The HP+ Series Lenses are high-resolution C-mount lenses optimized for demanding factory automation and machine vision environments.

TECHSPEC® Liquid Lens Cx Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses from Edmund Optics offer both high resolution and fast electronic focus.

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

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

Join EO's Nick Sischka, Director of Imaging, as he inspects pipes for various defects using the TECHSPEC Telecentric Lens versus the TECHSPEC Hypercentric Lens.

The TECHSPEC® MercuryTL™ Liquid Lens Telecentric Lenses combine the parallax error correction and high image quality of a telecentric lens with the flexibility 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.

Telecentric lenses capture high-accuracy measurements because their lack of parallax error makes objects appear the same size independent of their location

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.

The Future Depends on Optics®

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.

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

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

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

No imaging lens is the ideal choice for every type of imaging sensor, as multiple tradeoffs must be weighed and prioritized for every application.
