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 page.

The lens development experience is a lot like finding or modifying a car for the right application. If you are planning to take your vehicle off-roading, you wouldn’t want to buy a sedan like a Toyota Camry. Sure, for the average person commuting to work just about any vehicle will do, but those involved in particular activities would need specific performance characteristics. An example would be like buying a Jeep Wrangler, certainly a good choice for some limited off-roading. To make it even better you could specify the tires, add a winch, and lift it to make it more suitable to your off-road adventure needs. Pre-engineered solutions are geared towards those who need specific performance characteristics, but would like the advantage of having a good starting point before refining the design for your project’s success.

The design team at Optikos brings together specialties not only in optics, but also in physics, mechanics, opto-mechanics, electronics, software, and automation. Having this comprehensive, diverse team in-house allows us to be efficient problem solvers. When you want to start with a pre-engineered solution, but are concerned that your unique project doesn’t match what’s available, that is where engineering services can bridge the gap and help maintain a more rapid development.
