Custom microscope objectives

ASE Optics Europe has ample experience in designing custom microscope objectives with high NA apertures, wide FOV or special material restrictions. We design custom microscope objective lenses and optical subsystems for scientific research centers and OEMS who require solutions for complex applications.

When off-the-shelf microscope objective is not enough to cover a specific need, ASE Optics offers the best solution, in terms of quality and costs.

Development of wide variety of microscope objectives

The objective is one of the most important parts of a microscope, as it plays a central role in obtaining the correct images of the inspected items. Combining our knowledge in optical design and the most advanced manufacturing techniques, ASE Optics can design and manufacture microscope objectives that meet all the requirements of its customers, offering the optimal balance between technical quality and resource efficiency.

We offer solutions in:

To achieve the required results, our team of optical engineers always selects the most suitable materials, depending on each application: high quality glasses, with high refractive indices and low dispersion, are used to reduce chromatic aberrations, astigmatisms, geometric distortion, aberrations. aspherical … thanks to our optical design process, we offer the most efficient solutions for the production of custom microscope objectives.

Our development process for the development of custom microscope objectives

Even though each project for the design and development of a custom objective is different, at ASE Optics we follow a standardized process to guarantee that we reach the best results, meeting our customers’ requirements:

We consider all parameters such as image quality, working distance, focal length, spectral range, field of view or numerical aperture. Taking these parameters into account, we configure the lens system, choose the appropriate materials, and carry out design optimization work, optical performance analysis. The phase ends with the creation of the specification document and the lens design drawings, including optics and optomechanics.

Considering customer’s requirements, we select the optimal fabrication method. ASE Optics stablished commercial and technical relations with qualified partners, specialized in the manufacture of precision and custom lenses and coatings.

We have all necessary resources and equipment for the assembly and precision alignment of the objectives, in-house.

All our systems are tested and controlled, to ensure that each of our objective lenses meet all the requirements.

Pre-engineered objective lenses, customizable

In addition to 100% custom microscope objectives, we also offer pre-designed objectives, which can be adapted to technical requirements, deadlines and budgets according to the needs of each customer and project. We select the appropriate design and materials, to deliver microscope objective, assembled, tested and validated.

Our high-precision optical solutions are currently used by investigation centers and institutes (biology, quantum physics, cold-atom experiments) as well as by private companies and industrial projects.

We also design microscope objectives with infinite correction for their use with cylindrical lenses (off-the-shelf) and we also have the capability to design and produce those lenses to obtain the best performance.
