Optical filters have the ability to improve the accuracy of diagnostics by enhancing the two most important aspects of medical imaging: contrast and resolution.

We explore the latest advances in modern precision optics and how they are benefiting microscopy push the boundaries of scientific research.

We explore the benefits of using optical prisms in imaging systems, the different types of prisms available, and how to select the right prism for a given application.

We delve deeper into the subject of borosilicate glass, discuss its pivotal role in optical components and cover some FAQs on this remarkable material.

Fused Silica and Fused Quartz are amongst some of the most popular optical materials. What are the similarities and benefits between the two?

Sapphire windows and plates can be utilised in a wide range of optical components, we review the key benefits and differences between them.

Optical lenses can be used for a variety of precision applications in the science, medical, imaging, defence and industrial sectors.

Optical Filters can be designed and manufactured to either limit the spectrum of light or allow it to transmit for specific applications.

Laboratories need precision microscope slides and coverslips for a wide range of uses, ranging from optical microscopy to cytology.
