Edmund Optics to Showcase New Products for Harsh, Precision and Changing Environment Needs


Industry Firsts at Photonics West 2007

Barrington, N.J., November 20, 2006 - Edmund Optics will kick off Photonics West 2007 with its hottest line of Tech Spec(TM) optics and photonics products. Featuring new Tech Spec(TM) Mechanics, ChamelEOs(TM) illumination, and Harsh Environment Optics, Edmund revs up optical performance for the New Year.

Topping this year's must-see advances include Edmund Optics breakthrough LED-based Chameleos(TM) illumination delivery system, which promises to replace the current use of quartz halogen in a variety of environments from machine vision, to security, to biomedical equipment. Chameleos effectively harnesses LED brightness, delivering a powerful RGB source that can be independently controlled. The product will be available April 1 and will retail for just $1,995.

Edmund will also showcase its latest advances in HEO(TM) Harsh Environment Optics for automotive and industrial environments. These HEOs are ideal for visible and near-infrared infinite conjugate imaging applications that require sealed optical components that can excel in wash-down or similarly wet surroundings.

Of great interest is Edmund's new line of Tech Spec mechanics to be unveiled publicly for the first time at Photonics West. EO's newest family of Optical Mounts and Mounting Table Platforms with superior construction materials ensures quality, durability, repeatability and English/metric compatibility. With advanced designs, unique mounting features and fabulous integration benefits, optics buyers will be excited to see Edmund's twist on quality mechanics at the right price. Visitors will be able to spot these mechanics down the aisle with their bright burgundy knobs and impressive EO branding.

Visit the Edmund booth #1018 and learn about EO's new capabilities, products, and how the company "Makes it Easy" to find what is needed, make the purchase, and secure effective technical support.
