Ophthal­mology

For the ophthalmology market we develop, manufacture and integrate optics, mechanics and electronics into innovative system solutions. Our high-performance optics are used in various areas of eyesight correction:

1.    Before/on the eye
2.    Cornea & lenses
3.    Retina

Life Sciences

Staying healthy is more important for people than ever. Diagnostics in the area of prevention and early detection of illness plays an essential role. Diagnostic tests show whether a person is healthy or whether there are features present that could lead to an illness. Diagnostics also help to develop individual treatment methods. Many of the instruments used for diagnosis are based on optical principles. This is where SwissOptic comes into play.

 

FASTER TO LARGE QUANTITIES OF INFORMATION

Maximize your sample throughput, e.g. in next generation sequencing. With our experience, we can contribute to a strong improvement of the information acquisition speed. This can increase the processing and evaluation performance of your system.

We offer you:

  • Highly sensitive optics with large fields of view to reduce the number of recordings and/or accelerate the process
  • Special beam splitters for simultaneous recording of four or more channels
  • Optimization of the optical design to sample size, illumination and sensor layout for an optimal result
Next Generation Sequencing

MORE SIGNAL IN FLUORESCENCE

In order to be able to produce instruments, e.g. cytometers of outstanding quality, SwissOptic optimizes the optics towards high sensitivity, so that the PMT’s used in the machine can also detect weak fluorescence signals quickly and reliably.

We offer you:

  • Reduction of service costs and increased service life of the optics under high UV exposure to excitation lasers
  • Improving the Signal-to-noise ratio and increasing the transmission allows the detection of weak signals and rare events
  • Elimination of auto fluorescence by omitting cemented lens groups

UTILIZE COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING

Remove complexity from your optical setup and outsource correction factors into software or other parts of the system. This can increase performance, save space and cost. For example, knowing your optical characteristics exactly can help to improve results, e.g. in deconvolution. Other corrections can be color correction, spherical aberrations and flatfield correction.

We offer you:

  • We help you to understand which optical corrections can be achieved using algorithms in order to improve performance.
  • Small changes can have big effects. Moving away from standard optics allows concentrating on what really counts in your application. Using fully color corrected standard optics in a monochromatic system might limit the performance of your system unnecessarily.
  • We map out the essential requirements for your design with you and develop design to cost or design to performance with you.
  • Everything from a single source: feasibility, construction, production: ensures manufacturability and performance.

NON-IMAGING OPTICS

Tailor-made components or fine-tuned standard products can make the difference: Lenses with special properties such as complex shapes or non-standard materials, e.g. for illumination, make your design unique in terms of functionality and preserve your technological lead. Optimize your system with standard components that have been specially refined for you or optical elements that are precisely tailored to your application.

We offer you:

  • Zenike polynomials on aspheres or prism assemblies optimize your system exactly where it makes the difference
  • Optimized coatings for mirrors, lenses and beam splitters improve your design, also as a contract coating on catalog products of reputable suppliers
  • Microstructures combined with anti-reflective coatings and increased laser resistance open up new application possibilities

OUR COMPETENCIES

  • Feasibility studies, development and production with your solution in mind
  • Assembly concepts, optimized adjustment (also at the customer’s site) and serviceability through intelligent and robust designs
  • Expertise in lens selection, mounting technology and assembly
  • Plano optics, spherical/aspherical optics, measurement technology, assembly - everything from a single source
  • Over 300 types of glass in stock, and the associated know-how
  • Coating and coating design suitable for your field of application
  • RoHS-compliant microstructures in black chrome

YOUR LONG-TERM PARTNER - FROM CONCEPT TO VOLUME PRODUCTION
