Innovation from glass to application

Our optics offer precise advantages for many industries

Leading-edge technologies

We create leading-edge technologies in optics and develop them to the limits of feasibility. Our ambition is to make optics even more precise and to lead them to perfection – for the benefit of our customers.

Process development

Our experts define the best manufacturing strategy for each project and develop customized processes for your requirements. Our expertise starts with a piece of glass and ends with the integration into your application.

Quality assurance

Even if all standards are defined according to the norm, particularly qualified employees with a "trained eye" and a lot of experience are needed to detect irregularities.

Flexibility

Whether surface shape, cleanliness, roughness or overall performance – you decide where the focus is. We adapt all machining variants to your wishes and assemble our production chain modularly to match.

High-performance optics

Many demands – one solution: ZEISS. We are represented in a wide range of industries. Our optics are used in space, in the deep sea or in industrial applications. Our experts thoroughly understand our customers and their task. This is our road to success.

Better performance through high-end technologies

Our expertise in optics for you at a glance

Spherical optics

High-end spheres

Our specialty are components with excellent optical functions – from the smallest radius to the largest possible aperture angle. Production is carried out entirely within the ZEISS production network.

Front lenses with high aperture

High-quality and precise lenses are required – especially in microscopy – in order to obtain maximum image information. This is not the only area where ZEISS products have been setting new standards for over 170 years.

Aspheres and freeform optics

Individual and versatile optical components

At ZEISS, we realize precise freeform surfaces for you according to customer requirements, whether a prototype or series production. All processes are modularly adapted to the individual product.

Optical assemblies & flat optics

Flat optics and high-precision cement groups

Flat optical components with maximum transmission

We rely on a broad range of materials to manufacture components with multiple optical functions. We jointly select the optimal coating from existing coating systems and even customize the cement.

Special optics

Lightweight and highly accurate aspherical mirrors

With our specialized manufacturing processes, we also produce sophisticated large optics and special parts according to customer requirements – for example, for use in space. Here, too, we offer all services from a single source – from material procurement to transport.

Optical coatings

High-end filters and effective anti-reflection coatings

By manufacturing filters or applying optical coatings, we improve the optical properties of many surfaces – for high transmission and great performance right to the edge.

Micro-optics

Optimization of optical systems

Micro-optical elements can improve the performance of existing classical optical systems and add new functionalities. ZEISS functionalizes transparent surfaces using different refractive and diffractive optical elements and their combinations for application areas from EUV to IR.
