Lens performance is CRITICAL for accurate data, predictable outcomes, and repeatable use in optical systems. Customers choose Optikos for lens testing to recognize potential problems before they hit production or to classify why their lens isn’t performing the way it was designed.
LensCheck™ System (Lenses Up to 50mm)
OpTest® System (Lenses Above 50mm)
The LensCheck™ and OpTest™ systems are designed with system checks based on real-world applications. These solutions offer great versatility for addressing common issues such as
- Why are my images blurry?
- What is causing the lens flare?
- Is this field curvature within a reasonable range?
There’s More to Measure than MTF
For lens apertures up to 50mm, the compact and efficient LensCheck system is recommended for lens measurements. Recommended for apertures above 50mm, the OpTest system is customizable and can scale to your individualized measurement needs. Both systems are compatible with a wide range of accessories to address field angle positions, conjugate ratios, spectral regions, and image plane architecture.
Using advanced OpTest® 7 Software, these systems can measure:
- MTF
- Through-Focus MTF
- Depth of Focus
- Blur Spot Size
- Astigmatism
- Effective Focal Length (EFL)
- Distortion
- Field Curvature
- Chief Ray Angle (Principal Ray Angle)
- Encircled and Ensquared Energy
- Axial Color
- Lateral Color
- Line of Sight (Boresight)*
- Transmission*
- Stray Light*
- Finite Conjugate*
- Afocal*
