NASA worked with Optikos to develop a system to characterize visible wavelength lenses used in the RESTORE-L payload. Optikos delivered a unique quality measurement station designed to characterize the image quality of lens systems used on the NASA Restore-L Satellite Service Robots. These lenses act as the system’s “eyes” as it approaches and docks with a target satellite. To simulate

Technology is constantly evolving, and as it does, the strain and need for cutting-edge optics grows. As manufacturers strive to make infrared cameras smaller and smaller, they often employ a folded optical system in which the optical axis of the front of the lens is not on the same line as the optical axis exiting the lens. This often leads

Our client was creating a highly sensitive fluorescent imaging system for biomedical use, and Optikos was contacted to develop the mechanical design. The client had already selected their lens supplier, but did not have specific experience in this type of vendor selection and optical testing results from the original lenses were subpar. We performed measurements on the mechanics and the

Optikos developed and licensed technology for a very low cost 7X binocular. Incorporating glass mirrors and injection molded lenses utilizing aspheric surfaces, the BNOX binoculars achieved performance equivalent to glass prism binoculars at a price point that was a fraction of conventional binoculars. The performance, low weight, compactness and affordable price combined to provide a new price performance point in

Our client had a unique design for a surgical system, but needed a stereoscopic camera system designed for manufacture and 510K FDA clearance. The Optikos team of optical and mechanical engineers reviewed several issues with the client’s development team to streamline the design for future manufacturing.  We learned that there were difficulties aligning the customer’s prototype visualization system and achieving

Platform Imaging approached Optikos during the prototype design phase of their Visibot™ Visualization System, a device that is being commercialized for minimally invasive surgery. It includes two main components, connected by a small tether: 1) An insertable camera module with high definition camera, integrated LED’s for illumination, lens wash nozzle, and pan and tilt functionality; and 2)  A controller box

  Optikos is working with Lumicell on the optical-mechanical design and testing of a handheld imaging system that helps improve patient outcomes by identifying cancer cells “left behind on tumor cavity walls.” The company’s lead product, the Lumicell System “features an investigational optical agent and a handheld device that enable cancer surgeons to see and remove cancer cells in real-time during operations.” Read more
