Opticmechanics
Opticmechanics deals with the production of precision optical parts
Tasks performed involve:
- Grind, polish and surface lenses and optic crystals.
- repair and service the lenses of binoculars, telescopes and other scientific optical equipment
Both opto and optic mechanics are generally studied together.
