C-Mount ELM-F Series

C-mount lenses for sensors up to 4/3″ are essential when applications require higher resolution, larger fields of view, and more light throughput.

Integrating liquid lenses enables fast, precise focus without mechanical movement, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance. This combination delivers sharp imaging, flexibility, and speed for industrial and automation systems.

C-mount ELM for 1.1” series

Optotune’s C-mount ELM-F lenses feature an optimized optical design for high imaging performance and reduced development time. They support up to 1.1” sensors with pixel sizes down to 2.7 μm. When paired with Optotune’s optional embedded lens controller, precise and fast focal power adjustment becomes easy—even in environments with fluctuating temperatures.

Third party C-mount ELM-F

Optotune works with a broad network of partners who integrate liquid lenses into their focus-tunable optical systems. This enables a wide range of lens solutions with focal lengths up to 300 mm and compatibility with sensors up to 4/3”. When combined with Optotune’s optional embedded lens controller, fast and precise focal power adjustment becomes effortless—even in varying temperature environments.
