Join us on Wednesday, December 2nd at noon Pacific for the Precision Optics Hack Chat with Jeroen Vleggaar! We sometimes take for granted one of the foundational elements of our technological world: ...

Ultra-high precision optics are useless unless they are positioned with absolute precision and stress-free. To fulfil this need, Optical Surfaces Ltd designs and manufactures mounts specifically for ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- By making multiple objects appear to look like only one using a "perfect lens," scientists have demonstrated a new optical illusion that could have practical applications in lighting ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd is an established supplier of large diameter mirrors, optical flats, windows, lenses, beam expanders and collimators to leading research establishments worldwide. Typically, such ...

Researchers in Canada have built the first deformable liquid mirror from a magnetic liquid or “ferrofluid”, which could someday be used to compensate for distortion in the images of telescopes and ...

Many optical systems include mirrors as a component. They are used to direct and focus light, combine wavelengths, and reject specific wavelengths in imaging and a host of other applications. Multiple ...

A new optical prescription for automobile side-view mirrors may eliminate the dreaded "blind spot" in traffic without distorting the perceived distance of cars approaching from behind. Objects viewed ...

Hubble’s latest image of the massive Sh2-284 nebula reveals young stars concealed within thick clouds of gas and dust. Using infrared imaging, astronomers have captured details previously obscured in ...
