Focus tunable lenses

Liquid lenses are fast, reliable, flexible, and compact solution for applications where high throughput, high-speed, and remote focus control are a must.

 
 

Optotune lenses come in a variety of sizes from 3 to 42 mm clear aperture, with several coating options ranging from 400 to 2200 nm and comprise three sub-families:

  1. Electrically tunable lens (EL series)

  2. Manually tunable lenses (ML series)

  3. Electrical lens modules (ELM-F and ELM-T series).
