Medical & Scientific
Davin has significant experience and expertise in the design and production of optics and optical systems for varied applications in the medical, ophthalmic and scientific fields. Indeed, Davin's historical origins in the 19th century were in the scientific microscopy.
In the medical field we design and supply optics and systems for dermal cameras, optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems and endoscopes.
We have wide ranging experience in the design and supply of instruments and optics for ophthalmic use. Projects have included design and production of optical systems for retinal scanners, fundus cameras and pupil cameras.
Our pedigree in the field of scientific optical systems dates back to the first business in Davin's long history - James Smith - over 170 years ago. James Smith designed and manufactured microscopes. In more recent times, we have acquired particular expertise in reflecting microscope objectives, and our range of standard objectives are widely used in scientific applications around the world.
Of particular note in the scientific field is the Coherent Inc. Wave Master Wavelength Meter - a unique instrument for measuring wavelength of lasers with extreme precision. This product was designed and is made by Davin for our Client, Coherent Inc. (see www.coherent.com)
Reflecting Objectives
Reflecting objectives are renowned for their unique optical properties, and Davin are one of very few companies worldwide designing and manufacturing them. Based on a two mirror system, the all-reflecting optics ensure they are totally free from chromatic aberrations. They are corrected for spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism leading to diffraction limited imaging performance.
