It positions itself as a specialist in micro-optics with highest precision, serving OEM customers and system integrators. Optikron exhibits at major industry trade fairs, including VISION, the world's leading trade fair for machine vision, held in Stuttgart. At VISION 2026, the company plans to present product highlights such as the modular digital microscope i-C 120, a 720p HD 60 fps global shutter color camera measuring only 10x10x14 mm, a 720p HD 30 fps camera with Ø 3.2x14 mm, and a 5 MP camera with Ø 6.5x30 mm. The company is privately held and operates primarily in Germany and Europe, with international reach through its specialized optical components and systems.

Optikron GmbH is an optical equipment company based in Jena, Germany. Jena is a historic center of the German precision optics and photonics industry, home to companies such as Carl Zeiss and Jenoptik. Optikron was established to serve the growing demand for miniaturized optical components and systems. The company has developed expertise in micro-optics, including micro-prisms ranging from 0.3 mm to approximately 8 mm, and endoscope optics for classical systems, 3D systems, and endoscopes with additional functionality such as fluorescence and multi-sensor systems. It offers development, prototyping, and series production. Its main applications include endoscopy, laser systems in medicine and industry, and optical metrology. Optikron also produces complete optical modules and reflector units for beam homogenization and shaping, which improve efficiency and extend laser lifetime, with applications in laser therapy, laser surgery, and beauty laser treatments. The company provides customer-specific thin-film optics using plasma-ion-assisted deposition processes and a coating service for customer-supplied optics. It develops and manufactures various coating types with high efficiency. Optikron has exhibited at VISION, the world's leading trade fair for machine vision, and is scheduled to present at VISION 2026 in Stuttgart from October 6-8, 2026, at Stand 10B27. Product highlights include the modular digital microscope i-C 120, a 720p HD 60 fps global shutter color camera measuring only 10x10x14 mm, a 720p HD 30 fps camera with Ø 3.2x14 mm, and a 5 MP camera with Ø 6.5x30 mm. The company is privately held and continues to operate as a specialist supplier of micro-optical components and systems.
