Special Optics designs and manufactures literally thousands of unique lens systems. Using a combination of internal lens designers and external consultants, we have cataloged base designs ranging from simple bestform lenses and beam expanders to complex image reducers and telecentric scanning lenses. Having a large library of lens designs allows us to meet your design needs without disproportionate design costs. This means that we rarely have to design a system from "scratch." We simply choose a base design, and modify and reoptimize to meet the necessary requirements. In this way the customer need not compromise performance by being forced to choose a standard off-the-shelf lens but, instead, can obtain an exact design without incurring extreme design charges
