Aspheric cylinders, or acylinders, are cylinder lenses that have an aspheric prescription applied to its curved surface. Just as aspheres offer improved performance over spherical optics by reducing spherical aberration, acylinders provide this same advantage over cylindrical lenses.
Although acylinders provide a higher level of performance when compared to standard cylinder optics, they are also more difficult to manufacture. Not only does it take the latest CNC optical grinding and sub aperture polishing technology to produce precision aspheric cylinders, it also takes experienced opticians that understand the manufacturing process.
Vertex Optics has the technology and the expertise to produce aspheric cylinders from prototype to production quantities. Whether your acylinder job involves a mild aspheric surface or one that is very challenging, you can trust Vertex Optics to deliver in spec and on time.
