Product Development
Our core competency in optical engineering allows us to provide optically-based design for any product or application
Where other optical consulting firms might offer only lens design services, Optikos has built its reputation on providing our clients with access to broadly skilled optical problem solvers who provide solutions and continuity of support throughout the product development cycle.
Your design can range from any single a là carte technical solution to complete product development through manufacturing.
And at project completion, you own the design.
The Optikos Management System is registered by Intertek as conforming to the requirements of:

Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Optikos engineers team up according to the demands of the job—bringing together specialties not only in optics, but also in physics, mechanics, opto-mechanics, electronics, software, and automation.
These diverse teams and skill sets enable Optikos to offer a range of engineering skills and experience for optically-based product development that is not typically encountered or developed in most in-house engineering departments or independent consultancies.
Our engineering teams thrive in a culture of efficient problem solving, and are experienced at joining a project at any phase of the development cycle—from conceptual work to fixing existing products that don’t work. We understand the sometimes-unpredictable nature of moving products to market and we’re well-prepared to deal with it.

Optical design optimization for glass equivalency to reduce supply chain burden
Lens manufacturing is dependent on the supply of optical-grade glasses, and with supply chain issues, glass selection can often make or break project timelines and cost. Experienced lens designers know the importance of glass selection and often need to consider glass availability early in the design process. Restricting the design space to specific glass manufacturers […]
A Review of Optical, Non-Contact Fluid Measurements for Life Science Applications
Optikos has engaged in multiple projects related to non-contact measurement of liquids. Typically, these measurements serve as a quality control (QC) step for an automated fluid handling process. Example projects include: Characterize turbidity (cloudiness) of bacterial samples to evaluate growth rates and populations prior to antibiotic testing Perform a critical, non-contact QC inspection of MRI […]
Coverslip tolerances are an important aspect of your life science imaging system tolerancing budget
High-performance microscope objectives are critical to many life science imaging applications including DNA sequencing, spatial biology, super resolution microscopy, oncology diagnostics, and many other imaging modalities. The microscope objective is usually just one component in a complex imaging system used to achieve high-resolution imaging. Designing these imaging systems often requires a holistic and complex systems […]
What to Expect at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing Conference with Optikos
The Optikos team is excited to showcase the latest optical solutions at the SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing Conference from April 15-17, 2025, in Kissimmee, Florida. Join us at Booth #620 to explore our advanced optical systems, engineered for the highest standards in defense and aerospace. Our featured solutions for optical payloads and surveillance systems […]
Lens Alignment as a Service at Optikos
What is active lens alignment? Active alignment is a process in which lenses are individually manipulated to bring them into alignment with a defined axis. Generally, this axis is based off of mechanical datums of a lens barrel. Each lens is then manipulated into position using fine-pitched pusher screws. Using an Opto-Alignment LAS-P or similar […]
Time for a checkup! How IQ Lab™ Services Keep Your Lenses and Cameras Healthy
It’s that time again – time to head to your doctor’s office for a checkup. You arrive and a medical assistant calls you to the back. Before your doctor comes in, you have your blood pressure checked, your heart rate measured, temperature taken, and maybe even have some blood drawn. These are part of a […]
