Guide to Optics

Supply your business with the right equipment from industrial optics distributors

By D. Johnston


Industrial optics have myriad applications throughout many fields. In manufacturing, processing and finishing industries and in medical and scientific research capacities, optics play an important role that you can't ignore. If your business requires the use of optics simple or complex, you need to know where to obtain the right supplies.

Whatever your business, get the industrial optics information you need. From what you need to where you can buy it, use this guide as a starting point for:

1. Looking into an industrial optics distributor for processing and manufacturing applications

2. Getting information about industrial optics for scientific research work

3. Searching for coatings and filters for optics


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Find industrial optics suppliers for your processing and machining jobs

Industrial optic supplies are used in a surprising variety of applications. From design to manufacturing, from raw material processing to a finished product, many industrial jobs require the use of optics for tasks as diverse as visualizing, machining, heating, shaping and refining. For instance, the CD and DVD manufacturing industry is entirely dependent on industrial optics distributors. A wealth of products is available for your business in whatever application you need.

I recommend: Check out Edmund Optics or Melles Griot, two manufacturers of industrial optics, to see what products will work best with your applications. Also, contact United Lens or RMI for industrial optics information.

Locate manufacturers of industrial optics to supply products for your scientific needs

In science, many fields involve the use of optics. Microscopic imaging, laser work and light and photographic modulation are all fields or processes in research that require the use of optics; the medical field also uses optics endlessly for hundreds of jobs. If your business is in medical equipment, research or another scientific endeavor that relies on industrial optics, you need products made to precise specifications.

I recommend: Look into industrial optic supply choices for imaging and scientific applications at Schneider Optics, Anchor Optics or Heussner. Contact Fosta-Tek to see what solutions they can provide.

Perfect your optics solutions with finishing touches like filters and coatings

Optics isn't simply about the right lens or prism; many tasks rely on the right colors, filters and/or screens applied to the light media. Coatings and filters play a huge role in the way that optics work, and while you may have the right supplies, you need to ensure that those supplies have been treated or tinted to the correct degree.

I recommend: While many of the industrial optics suppliers already mentioned have facilities to provide these services, check out Evaporated Coatings Inc., Thin-Films Research or Hoya to see your options for finishing optics you already own or for specialty services.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • •  Industrial optics are usually very precise instruments. Whether through heat, incidental marring or damage by machinery, your optics are vulnerable enough that having back-ups isn't a bad idea. If cost isn't prohibitive, consider buying more than one product for each of your applications.
