An update for Owis' OWISoft software is now available with newly added functions. OWISoft is designed to configure and operate OWIS control units.
Limes 84N and Limes 84N-IMS high-precision linear stages have been introduced by Owis
Owis has introduced its VT 30 translation stages, which are suitable for simple but precise tasks such as the exact adjustment and positioning of small parts and samples
The new Owis fibre positioners allow sensitive adjustment in the nanometre range. They are the perfect choice for a reliable light or fibre alignment, for example, in microscopy and fibre optics. The FAPO's are available in three sizes from June 2015
In research and industry OWIS beam handling systems are standard in every laboratory. The system installation kits allow the experimenter to provide test setups within shortest time
OWIS, a global leading manufacturer of optical beam handling and positioning systems, along with software developer CADENAS, provide extensive product records in various formats to download.
Owis has released its optic holder UNOH 65 for the beam handling system SYS 65
Owis has introduced linear precision stages with a width of 30mm and a working height of 16mm
Owis says it is the first supplier to develop an universal optic holder for rail-based beam handling systems
Owis' flip mirror holders KSH(M) 25 and KSH(M) 40 and KSH(M) 65 can now be used in all orientations
Professor Paul Shore led the team that micromachined the complex mirrors within James Webb’s mid-infrared instrument. He chats about the technical lessons learnt
EMF invested a great deal of time and effort in developing a coating system for producing long-lasting diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings on chalcogenides at scale
The properties of chalcogenide glass optics have opened up a number of use cases in infrared optics applications and beyond. This article assesses how some of the associated manufacturing and handling challenges of this material can be overcome
