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.

Pre-Engineered Microscope Objectives Help Kickstart Lens Development
Designing a lens to suite your project’s specifications and use case can be a daunting task. What if you could skip ahead in the development process, saving both time and money? Starting with a pre-engineered solution from the Optikos objectives library can kickstart your development by providing a proven starting point, rather than a blank […]

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 […]
Why We Test Lenses Over Temperature: Model Validation, Focus Hysteresis, and Other Unusual Failure Modes
Many applications require high quality imaging over a wide temperature range. This may be due to an uncontrolled environment (e.g. outdoor security cameras), or the intended environment may be regulated to something other than room temperature (e.g. body temperature for endoscopes). However with temperature variation comes thermal expansion, which introduces an opportunity for the flange […]
