“I can’t find what I want!”

Customise is a complete programme for supplying you with the components that you really need. So if a standard item won’t do then…

We’ll make it fit…

There’s no need to compromise. We can modify both optical and mechanical catalogue items to your exact requirements, rapidly – even on a one-off basis – in our well-equipped, in-house workshops.

or we’ll make it specially…

We have many years’ experience manufacturing or sourcing custom optical and optomechanical components and assemblies.

“How long will it take?”

We aim to ship the modified goods within a week of your order although generally it will be quicker than this. Often we are able to offer an even faster service – please enquire.

“I bet it’s expensive!”

No! We think the service is very reasonable, but then we would, wouldn't we! One-off mods start from just £20. Try it for yourself—it shouldn't do much damage to your budget...

“Can you modify my own optics?”

Yes! If you are looking for someone to adapt your optics, we are able to apply all the processes listed, albeit at your risk. All enquiries are welcome.

“So what mods can be done?”

You will find the following symbols throughout the catalogue. These mean as follows...

	Stock optics reduced in size as needed. For glass items this means diamond sawing, scoring and cracking, edging, grinding, etc.; for plastic items – sawing, milling, punching, guillotining, etc.
	Larger sizes available from stock sheets. Where you see this symbol we hold the materials in stock in large sheets and can cut custom shapes and sizes larger than those listed in the catalogue.
	Metal parts machined as required. You will find this symbol in our optomechanical range: it indicates customisation by drilling, tapping, reaming, milling , turning, etc.

“You don’t even list what I want!”

A large part of our business is sourcing and supplying ‘out-and-out’ special optics and optomechanics for ongoing OEM requirements or even one-off items for repair or prototyping. We will do our best to produce that special item you’re looking for. We have many years of expertise in the following areas.

• Lenses – singlets, doublets and compound
• Prisms – all types
• Mirrors, windows and flat work
• Filters – colour, neutral, dichroic, etc.
• Coatings of all types
• Laminating and cementing of items
• Optomechanical assemblies and devices
