Optical Lenses
(443 companies)
Optical lenses are transparent components made from optical-quality materials and curved to converge or diverge transmitted rays from an object. These rays then form a real or virtual image of the object. This area includes micro lenses.
Optical Manufacturing Services

Mounts are mechanical devices for holding components or devices firmly in place while minimizing vibration. Optical manufacturing services design, fabricate and finish beamsplitters, crystals, filters prisms, reticles, waveplates, wedges...
Balls and Sphere Shapes
(207 companies)
Balls and sphere shapes are used in products that require a spherical component. Examples include bearings, ball screws, valves, flow meters, and gages. Balls and sphere shapes are made from materials such as glass, metals, plastics, and ceramics.
Ceramic Powders and Precursors
(183 companies)
Ceramic powders and precursors contain oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon, and other non-metals. They are usually micron or mesh-size in distribution. Ceramic powders, sol-gel solutions and precursors are fabricated through atomization, crushing, milling, precipitation, and other chemical processes.

Crystal Filters
(52 companies)
Crystal filters are electronic filters that use monolithic crystals.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Modules
(544 companies)
Liquid crystal display (LCD) modules are used at the component level in place of less efficient displays such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs). These modules do not include housing and must be incorporated into a larger instrument or system.
Silica, Quartz, and Silicate Materials
(173 companies)
Silica, quartz and silicate materials include fused silica, quartz, kaolin or clay-based materials, cordierite, steatite, forsterite, sillimanite, zircon, porcelain, and fireclay. They are based on silicon dioxide and various chemical variations.

Studs
(364 companies)
Studs are mechanical fasteners which are threaded on one or both ends. One end is secured to an object. The other end is used typically with a nut.
Glass Tiles
(29 companies)
Glass tile consists of a flat, thin shape usually with beveled edges for lining or covering a surface. Tile can be designed for corrosion resistance, transparency and/or surface decoration.
Grinding Wheels
(500 companies)
Grinding wheels are used for metal removal, dimensioning, and finishing. They consist of an integral shank, pin, shaft, or mandrel that drives a mounted wheel or blades.
