Product Development
Our core competency in optical engineering allows us to provide optically-based design for any product or application
Where other optical consulting firms might offer only lens design services, Optikos has built its reputation on providing our clients with access to broadly skilled optical problem solvers who provide solutions and continuity of support throughout the product development cycle.
Your design can range from any single a là carte technical solution to complete product development through manufacturing.
And at project completion, you own the design.
The Optikos Management System is registered by Intertek as conforming to the requirements of:

Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Diverse Skillsets offer Efficient Problem Solving
Optikos engineers team up according to the demands of the job—bringing together specialties not only in optics, but also in physics, mechanics, opto-mechanics, electronics, software, and automation.
These diverse teams and skill sets enable Optikos to offer a range of engineering skills and experience for optically-based product development that is not typically encountered or developed in most in-house engineering departments or independent consultancies.
Our engineering teams thrive in a culture of efficient problem solving, and are experienced at joining a project at any phase of the development cycle—from conceptual work to fixing existing products that don’t work. We understand the sometimes-unpredictable nature of moving products to market and we’re well-prepared to deal with it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Microscopy Applications – Removing the Need for Precision Imaging Sub-systems?
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the buzzword of 2024 in nearly every industry—and microscopy is no different. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into microscopy has further advanced life science diagnostics. By harnessing the power of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, AI-driven microscopy has further improved how we visualize and interpret biological samples. But […]
The Optikos ColliMeter™: Taking the Guesswork Out of Focusing
Setting collimation is an alignment challenge faced by nearly every optics practitioner. There are a variety of methods for measuring collimation to guide this alignment process—some common ones are listed in Table 1. This table also identifies limitations associated with each method, which broadly fall into one of two categories: The scanning pentaprism stands out […]
Ask Optikos: What is a Projector?
What is a projector? The short answer is that a projector is an optical device that illuminates a surface patterned to a desired image and projects that onto a screen. But in this post, we’ll take a deeper dive into what a projector is, its history, and common design challenges in creating projectors. A Brief […]
How to Go to Market Successfully in the Medical Device Space: Pre-Development
The failure rate for medical device startups can be as high as 90%. The question is, why do so many fall short? Is it due to funding challenges, the complexity of the technology, over-commitment coupled with under-delivery, a lack of understanding of the competitive landscape, or perhaps a shortage of engineering experience and manufacturing capabilities? […]
Quality Statistics in Production: Using Data and Statistical Techniques to Improve Manufacturing Processes
For those of you that read In-Process Testing in a Production Environment blog, this is the second installment in the series. Anyone who works in manufacturing understands the criticality of measuring the performance of sub-assemblies and finished products on a production line — and that’s where in-process testing comes into play. In my last post, […]
In-Process Testing in a Production Environment
When manufacturing precision optical assemblies at scale, there are two critical areas to consider: efficiency and quality. It’s a careful balance between these two metrics in the effective manufacture of optical assemblies. Efficiency is often considered the priority in optical systems manufacturing, since it’s critical to keep touch time low and reduce cost of the […]
