Competence in Micro-Optic Design

Printoptix designs complex systems that leverage refraction, diffraction, reflection, absorption, polarization, or combinations of these phenomena in hybrid optical systems.

Printoptix specializes in the design and fabrication of advanced optical systems, leveraging a deep understanding of light manipulation techniques. Their expertise extends across a wide range of optical phenomena, including:

PTX90-f42 Micro Camera Objective

The PTX90-f42 is a micro camera objective with a 90° FOV that is meant to be glued directly onto the cover glass of an imaging sensor. It's encased in a metal casing for mechanical and optical protection and sealed against the environment.
