  Optics: Single Lens (Singlet Lens)(12)

  Plano-convex lenses/biconvex lenses are optical lenses with a positive focal length. Plano-convex lenses are ideal for light collimation and focusing applications using monochromatic illumination, and they are used in a range of industries including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and robotics. In contrast, biconvex lenses are used for applications that relay images and for imaging objects located at nearby conjugate points. Plano-concave lenses/biconcave lenses are optical lenses with a negative focal length. Plano-concave lenses are best suited for beam expansion, light projection, and extending the focal length of optical systems. In contrast, biconcave lenses are used for beam expansion, image reduction, and light projection applications. They are also ideal for extending the focal length of optical systems.

  Optics: Achromatic Lens(21)

  Achromatic lenses (color-correcting lenses) are used to minimize or eliminate the occurrence of chromatic aberration. The achromatic (color-correcting) design also helps to minimize spherical aberration. Achromatic lenses are ideal for a range of applications, including fluorescence microscopy, image relay, inspection, and spectroscopic analysis. Achromatic lenses are designed to produce a smaller spot size compared to comparable single lenses, primarily by bonding two lens elements together or fixing them within a tube.

  Optics: Aspherical Lens(20)

  Aspherical lenses are used in a range of applications, including barcode scanners, laser diode collimation, and integration for OEM and research and development, to eliminate spherical aberration. By replacing lenses in an optical assembly composed of multiple lenses with aspherical lenses, it is possible to reduce the number of required lenses and contribute to miniaturization. Unlike conventional lenses that adopt a spherical shape on the first surface, aspherical lenses employ a more complex surface shape where the curvature gradually changes from the center of the lens to the edge. Reducing the total number of lenses not only contributes to a decrease in the size and weight of the system but also simplifies the assembly process. Adopting aspherical lenses in applications such as focusing the output from laser diodes not only reduces total costs but also makes it possible to exceed the performance of assemblies designed using conventional spherical lenses.

  Optics: Other Lenses(36)

  You can choose from various lenses such as cylindrical lenses, ball lenses, and Fresnel lenses. Cylindrical lenses (cylinder lenses) are typically used to focus incident light into a line or to change the aspect ratio of an image. Ball lenses are commonly used in fiber coupling applications to improve signal quality and are also used in endoscopic examinations and barcode scanning applications. Due to their short back focus, ball lenses minimize the required distance between the lens and the optical fiber. Fresnel lenses are used in many focusing applications, such as condenser systems and emitter/detector configurations. A Fresnel lens is an optical lens that has a series of concentric grooves molded into a thin, flat plastic substrate. Each groove functions as a refractive surface while the thin substrate minimizes light absorption.

  Polarizing elements are used in imaging applications to reduce glare and hotspots, improve contrast, and evaluate distortion. Polarizing elements can be used to measure changes in magnetic fields, temperature, molecular structure, chemical interactions, or acoustic vibrations. When light passes through a polarizing element, the polarization state of the light, in other words, the amplitude state of the electric field components in the XY direction, changes. Polarized light can take the form of linear, circular, or elliptical polarization.

  A beam splitter is an optical element used to separate incident light into two optical paths. Beam splitters are commonly used in laser and lighting systems. They are also ideal for fluorescence applications, optical interference methods, life sciences, and semiconductor packaging. Light is separated in specific ratios based on overall intensity, wavelength, or polarization state.

• 

  Optics: Prism(28)

  Optical prisms are used to change the direction of light at specific angles. Optical prisms are ideal for adjusting the angle of incidence of light rays and the orientation of images. The design shape of the prism determines how light interacts with it. When light enters the prism, it either reflects individually off multiple optical surfaces or refracts as it travels through the prism substrate before exiting. For example, when light enters a right-angle prism, it reflects off one optical surface and bends its direction by 90°. When light enters a wedge prism, it refracts and deflects due to changes in the substrate thickness.

  Optics: Other optical components & peripheral parts(27)

  A diffraction grating is an optical element used to separate light into its constituent wavelengths. Diffraction gratings are used in spectroscopic analysis and are integrated into spectrophotometers and monochromators. The surface of a diffraction grating is treated with a series of closely spaced grooves formed by scribing or etching. Diffraction gratings function either by transmission or reflection. Optical fibers, or fiber optics, are widely used for data transmission and light guide applications. Optical fibers used in light guide applications are ideal for medical, inspection, automotive, and display applications because they guide safe light that does not generate heat. Lens cleaning supplies are used to clean and safely handle delicate optical elements for maintenance and inspection applications.

  Microscope-related: Objective lens(29)

  Infinity-corrected objective lenses are widely used in imaging and laser point focusing applications. Infinity-corrected objective lenses are microscope objective lenses that form images at infinity. These lenses are designed with a long working distance, allowing optical elements such as beam splitters and optical filters to be placed in the optical path. When using infinity-corrected objective lenses for imaging applications, a secondary lens called an imaging lens is required to focus the light collected from the specimen onto the image sensor. In laser applications, the use of an imaging lens is not necessary. Finite-conjugate objective lenses are widely used for simple microscope setups and OEM integration. Finite-conjugate objective lenses are microscope objective lenses that do not require an imaging lens (auxiliary lens) to focus on the specimen. These lenses are typically optimized for use in the visible spectrum. Finite-conjugate objective lenses are generally constructed using three lens elements, which helps reduce size and weight.
