Applications of glass micro-optics in photonic analytics

High-precision glass micro-optics power analytical instruments such as spectrometers, flow cytometers, optical biosensors and lab-on-chip analytical devices, where beam shaping, low autofluorescence and stable optical alignment are essential.

Frequently asked questions

What makes glass micro-optics suitable for photonic analytics?
Monolithic glass optics deliver optical-grade surfaces, low autofluorescence and high chemical stability, improving measurement accuracy and repeatability in analytical platforms.

Can analytical optics be integrated with microfluidics?
Yes. Micro-lenses, mirrors and waveguides can be integrated directly with microfluidic channels in a single glass chip for compact, sensitive analytical systems.
