New line of Ultra Violet Quartz Lenses for imaging in the deep UV spectrum
Available from stock in 25, 50, 78, and 105mm focal lengths, these lenses are well suited to forensic investigation and other UV and Infra-red imaging applications.
We have designed and manufactured these lenses as a reasonably priced solution to the growing need for imaging in the other than visible spectrum. Owing to the broad transmission range of the quartz elements this family of lenses can transmit well into the Infra-red spectrum as well.

We offer a full line of camera specific T- mount adapters and filters to fit all of our quartz lenses. We also have bare filter rings to mount your custom filters if desired, for maximum versatility. Please call 516-624-2444 to learn more about this useful offering of lenses.
