OPTICAL PINS

Optical Pins
Product Description
Optical Pins are precision-engineered small pins used primarily in optical laboratories and equipment for alignment, securing, and positioning optical components such as lenses, mirrors, and prisms. Made from high-grade metals or corrosion-resistant materials, these pins ensure stable and accurate placement of delicate parts during assembly or experimental setups. Their fine tips and consistent dimensions provide reliable fixation without damaging sensitive optical surfaces. Optical pins are essential for maintaining optical path accuracy and are commonly used in microscopy, laser systems, spectrometry, and other photonics applications.
