Edmund Optics was founded in 1942 by Norman Edmund. The first EO catalogs focused on "hard to find" optics for science enthusiasts, hobbyists and educators. As the breadth and depth of the product offering evolved, Mr. Edmund created Edmund Scientific Company and was well known as the go-to source for unusual science activities, telescopes, experiments, and demonstrations specializing in optics. In the late 1980s, Mr. Edmund’s son, Robert Edmund, re-invigorated the original Edmund Optics brand to serve the needs of the industrial, high precision optics market, launching military grade TECHSPEC® optics.

Today, Edmund Optics continues to inspire the next generation of students through Edmund Scientific, an educational outreach program designed to give educators, mentors, and youth leaders the tools they need to provide engaging, hands-on-learning in the field of optics. Visit Edmund Scientific to see the available videos, lab experiments, Inspiration Kits, and technical support.
