Why Small Diameter Lenses Matter

In compact optical systems, miniaturized lenses play a critical role in ensuring image clarity, structural integrity, and environmental reliability. These lenses are essential in applications such as:

  • Endoscopes (2.7–10 mm lens diameters)
  • Surgical microscopes
  • Ophthalmic instruments
  • Portable medical imaging devices
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems

Our small diameter lenses are custom-built to perform under extreme conditions—high temperatures, pressure, chemical sterilization—while maintaining superior imaging accuracy.

Key Features of Our Small Diameter Lenses

✔ High Imaging Performance in a Compact Design

  • Optimized for aberration correction, stray light suppression, and field of view–resolution balance
  • Aspheric surfaces used to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations without increasing lens size
  • Multi-layer anti-reflection coatings and internal barrel blackening for ghost-free imaging

✔ Precision Manufacturing for Medical Environments

  • Medical-grade designs resistant to high-pressure steam sterilization (up to 135°C, 2 atm)
  • Sapphire lens options for scratch resistance and chemical durability
  • IPX8-rated designs with sealed barrels and UV-cured adhesives for liquid and disinfectant resistance

✔ Ultra-Precision Machining and Assembly

  • CNC and magnetorheological polishing for aspheric lens accuracy (λ/10 or better)
  • Laser cutting and ion beam etching for micron-level precision
  • Vacuum-assisted alignment and cleanroom assembly (ISO Class 6 or better)

Designed for Medical Imaging and Surgical Precision

Our miniature lenses are engineered to deliver outstanding optical performance in critical medical applications:

● Endoscopy

  • Ultra-compact lenses integrated with LED illumination
  • High-resolution (1080p, 1150TVL) imaging for clear visuals in tight cavities
  • Ideal for minimally invasive procedures and wireless systems

● Ophthalmic & Surgical Microscopy

  • Long working distance and continuous zoom (3×–18×)
  • High depth-of-field for detailed visualization during precision surgeries
  • Non-contact designs that resist mineral buildup during sterilization

● OCT and Diagnostic Imaging

  • NIR-optimized lenses (1300 nm) with high transmittance and low dispersion
  • Compact lens groups for handheld devices and mobile diagnostics
  • Supports micron-level tissue tomography for early disease detection
