Brief History of Compound Lenses in Microscopes

Optical lenses have been arranged to create compound lenses in microscopy for centuries and we have seen the modern day microscope evolve to amazing levels. The first microscope developed was the optical microscope.

What is Machine Vision?

Machine vision has really revolutionized the way we are able to manufacture products in today's industries. Machine vision is the process of applying a range of technologies to provide an image based inspection, process control, and robot guidance in industrial applications. It is a very sophisticated system that utilizes the precision of high resolution lenses that are capable of gathering this complex information.

Laser Levels for Construction

In most construction projects today companies utilize the power of lasers with everyday measurement and alignment. The special laser lenses used for this application come in all sizes and focal points to tailor to meet the specific needs of the project.

X-Ray Imaging

X-rays are also referred to as radiographs or roentgenograms (after W.C. Roentgen). X-rays are certainly one of the most monumental discoveries in medical imaging lens history however, not many people know that X-rays were discovered by complete accident.

The Incredible Diagnostic Camera

Medical imaging lenses serve many different purposes and come in many different shapes and sizes from X-ray and MRI machines to internal imaging designed to actually look inside the smallest parts of the body.

Robotics in Automotive Manufacturing

CCTV lens assemblies essentially allow us to give the robot eyes to see with and that gives us much better control over the quality of their work.

We have over 1600 different lenses in stock at our New York facility. Only a few are described on this web site. Tell us what you need and when you want it...
