Conference | SPIE Defense + Security | 26 – 30 April 2026 | National Harbor, Maryland

Meet Optikos at SPIE Defense and Security 2026
Join us at Booth #521, where we’ll be showcasing our advanced optical metrology and precision engineering capabilities, supporting high performance applications across defense, aerospace, and complex imaging systems.
We’ll be featuring two key innovations central to our defense and imaging solutions:
🔍 Alignment Turned Refractive Aerial Imaging | Engineering & Manufacturing Services
See how Optikos applies precision cell turning to achieve exceptional alignment accuracy in refractive lens systems, while dramatically reducing manufacturing cost and complexity. This process corrects wedge, decenter, and airspace errors, enabling high performance assemblies without the need for tightly toleranced components or labor-intensive builds. Combined with our advanced metrology capabilities, including wavefront sensing, interferometry, CMM, and MTF analysis, this approach enables reliable, cost-effective production for advanced optical systems.
🎯 ColliMeter for Riflescopes | Precision Parallax Evaluation
Improving upon ISO 14490 methodology, our scanning pentaprism technique creates a precisely positioned line of sight that scans across the riflescope objective. Mounted in a horizontal configuration, this system transforms riflescope evaluation from subjective guesswork into objective, data driven measurement. It enables manufacturers to certify accuracy with confidence and offers buyers an unbiased way to compare products, especially high magnification, large objective telescopic sights.
📅Join Optikos on April 28th, 2026, for the official launch of the ColliMeter for Riflescopes at SPIE Defense + Security. From 3–4 PM at Booth #521, enjoy a champagne toast and a live demonstration of this breakthrough in riflescope testing.
