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.

How Optikos Transformed an Early-Stage Genomics Technology into an Easy-to-Manufacture Solution
Being the first to reach a breakthrough in your field of choice is exciting. But it is also hard. And commercial success is never guaranteed. Still, backing pioneers in science and technology is key to pushing evolution forward. This is the belief that drives Optikos® when we choose to support early-stage start-ups with their optics […]
Supporting the Superheroes through State-of-the-Art Optics at ADLM 2025
Whether we are pushing the boundaries of microscopy or advancing surgical techniques through cutting-edge optical solutions, Optikos has been a key driver of life science innovation since its inception. That is why our team is thrilled to contribute with our latest developments to this year’s ADLM 2025 conference—an inspiring gathering of global life science leaders […]
Tech trends to keep an eye on from Laser World of Photonics 2025
With record numbers of 1,398 exhibitors and 44,000 participants, the 2025 edition of Laser World of Photonics, held in Munich, Germany was a testament to the growing demand for high-grade optical solutions. From the automotive sector in need of advanced sensor systems to the space telecommunication industry’s pull for high resolution space imagery, more markets […]
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 […]
Parking Lot Parallax
Parallax is something nearly every human, and every animal with a set of forward facing eyes, utilizes every day and they may not realize it. Parallax is the shift in position of objects in a scene when there is a change in the position of the viewer (usually a camera or one of your eyes). […]
