Test equipment and software

We built our own test equipment and software to verify and qualify our lenses. The same equipment is available to you, to buy or to hire.

The range covers collimators, MTF measurement, interferometry, image resolution measurement, and measurement of back focal length (BFL), effective focal length (EFL) and other optical parameters.
