Know-how meets high-tech.

A deft touch, attention to detail, more than 50 years of experience – a tradition of always being a step ahead.

Henke Sass Wolf Mikrooptik GmbH is one of the world's leading companies within its field. It offers new ideas, surprising insights and outside-the-box thinking for research and science as well as the technology and industrial sectors. We accomplish this with microoptics that, thanks to their tiny dimensions, top imaging performance and precision, always provide new insights. They are primarily used in the field of medical endoscopy and, thanks to their top quality and precision production, they contribute to getting diagnoses right.

We can offer more than half a century of experience in the highly complex production of achromats, compact lenses as well as ball lenses and rod lenses..

The results are convincing:

A new dimension of microoptics with lens miniaturizations down to the 1 mm diameter level. Perfect for use in endoscopes, microscopes as well as in the entire field of optomechanics.
