EL-16-40-TC Large-Aperture Electrically Focus-Tunable Liquid Lens EL-16-40-TC-VIS-5D-M25.5-E
With a 16 mm clear aperture, the EL-16-40-TC is the electrically tunable lens with the largest clear aperture in the world. Its high-precision static lens design ensures concentricity and pointing stability; selected lenses achieve diffraction-limited wavefront error. An integrated temperature sensor enables in-situ compensation for temperature changes and focal repeatability of ±0.02 dpt. The robust voice-coil motor (VCM) design supports high-frequency use and long service life, while limiting thermal drift to 0.02 dpt/°C for excellent repeatability. The EL-16-40-TC provides fast, reliable autofocus within milliseconds and is well suited to demanding imaging-quality and large-beam applications, including quality inspection, microscopy, microplate readers, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) incubators, skin scanners and surgical imaging. Notes: 1. All models are available with optional gravity compensation technology (GTC models). 2. All models are available with near-infrared (NIR) coatings or custom coatings. 3. All models can meet grade-one standards, with wavefront error <0.15 λ RMS and focal repeatability <0.02dpt. 4. Models with threaded adapters are available with an integrated ECC-1C lens controller.
