Don't know which light pipe homogenizing rod will work with your system? Learn about how to choose the correct rod and more information at Edmund Optics.

Learn about the different types of optical prisms, their applications, and how to select the right prism for your specific system.

Collimated light occurs when light rays travel parallel to each other.

Designed for modularity and flexibility, Edmund Optics' TECHSPEC Optical Cage System components are high precision alternatives to complex optical alignment systems.

Fresnel lenses are composed of a series of concentric grooves etched into one side of a sheet of plastic. Fresnel lenses are unlike typical spherical or aspherical optical lenses.

Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.

Learn how to specify imaging system components.

Acktar Advanced Coatings produces light-absorbing components and materials to control stray light and eliminate noise from specular reflection.

Mastering Machine Vision Integration

Edmund Optics' fixed, adjustable, and kinematic mounting components can easily be integrated into optical systems.
