Although a common misconception, individual optical lenses do not always form an image when the object plane is placed a focal length away from the lens.

Edmund Optics offers a variety of kinematic, bar-type, translating, ring, and modular mounting components.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.
