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.
