Learn how to insert a liquid lens into a modular TECHSPEC Liquid Lens Cx Series Fixed Focal Length Lens Assembly from Edmund Optics.

Liquid lenses can be used to maximize imaging system flexibility across a wide variety of applications requiring rapid focusing.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Collimated light occurs when light rays travel parallel to each other.

When doing basic imaging, how do you determine the magnification an optical lens will provide?

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

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

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.

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

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.
