EL-12-30-TC Compact High-Performance Tunable Liquid Lenses EL-12-30-TC-VIS-16D
EL-12-30-TC is an advanced, extremely compact high-performance liquid lens developed through more than ten years of customer feedback and technical iteration. Based on established deformable-lens technology, applied current changes internal stress distribution to adjust lens curvature dynamically. A push-pull architecture provides millisecond response, allowing lens curvature to change continuously between plano-concave and plano-convex states over -6 to +10 dpt for fast, continuous focal-length adjustment. Established voice-coil motor drive technology provides high reliability and stability. EL-12-30-TC operates stably over a broad temperature range and in harsh industrial environments, particularly in optical systems requiring dynamic imaging and rapid focusing. Applications include barcode scanners, quality control, microscopes, microplate readers, IVF incubators, skin scanners and surgical imaging.
