Summary
Specialized profession that precisely assembles objective lenses used in microscopes and similar equipment, and adjusts and inspects their position and angle.
Description
Objective lens installers are workers who precisely assemble objective lenses mounted on optical instruments such as microscopes and telescopes. They clean and secure small lens elements, attach them using jigs or torque drivers, and inspect and correct minute misalignments with interferometers or microscopes. Much of the work is performed in cleanroom environments, requiring attention to temperature and humidity control as well as prevention of foreign matter contamination. To ensure the optical performance of products, strict standards are followed in every process.
