What's New

New Miniature UV Lens  
Universe Kogaku has just released our unique Miniature UV Quartz  Lens.
 
Unlike anything else on the market, this lens features 9.0mm focal length with an F/number of 2.8. More importantly, this lens is packaged in the popular M12 x 0.5 pitch threaded barrel.
 
The lens is designed to image up to a 1/2 ” format sensor with 100 lp/mm center resolution, with full transmission down to 260nm. M13 x 0.5 filter threads are provided to mount  user supplied band pass filters. Call for more details.
 

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.

The image at right was taken with a Fuji Finepix S3 Pro UV/IR camera and our 50mm quartz lens,T-NI  Nikon mount adapter, the IR 76 pass filter in sunlight.

This image is of the same object.  The 50mm quartz lens was used again, this time with our U330 UV pass filter in sunlight. Refocus was required as the lens is not corrected over this spectrum.
This is the same object shot with the UV1054B lens and UV330 filter in sunlight. This is an exceptional lens as can be seen. Please call 516-624-2444 to learn more about this useful offering of lenses.
