ARGOS nexus is an advanced automated solution designed to deliver objective, reliable inspection of optical surfaces. By combining high-resolution imaging with dark field illumination, the system ensures dependable detection of scratches and digs. In contrast, bright field techniques enable precise identification of coating defects, giving manufacturers full confidence in their inspection results.
Weinheim, Germany – January, 2026 – DIOPTIC is excited to announce the launch of ARGOS nexus, a next-generation platform for automated scratch and dig inspection, to be introduced at SPIE Photonics West. ARGOS nexus is designed to reduce inspection time, eliminate subjectivity, and extend automated inspection to a wider range of optical components and applications. …
For 25 years, DIOPTIC has stood for innovative solutions in the field of optical inspection and measurement systems. We are not only celebrating this special anniversary with pride, but also with another milestone: the move into our new company building. Jean-Michel Asfour, CEO of DIOPTIC GmbH, looks back on the company’s history.
The collaboration between OPTOMAN and DIOPTIC shows what’s possible when coating expertise and advanced inspection technology are combined. The full whitepaper explains how this approach directly translates into higher LIDT and lower risk in applications demanding high laser power.
In modern optical manufacturing, the inspection of surface quality is one of the most critical steps to ensure performance and reliability. Whether producing high-precision lenses, semiconductor wafers, or coated mirrors, optical surface quality is an important component of specifications required in the optics industry. Why Objectivity and Traceability Matter in Surface Inspection
Optical components such as Fresnel lenses and aspheres with diffractive surface structures pose unique challenges for metrology. Their complex geometries often cannot be accurately measured using conventional interferometric or tactile methods. This is where DIOPTIC excels: we design computer-generated holograms (CGHs) precisely tailored to these diffractive surfaces, enabling highly accurate form measurements even for the …
