Experts in Optical Design
We specialize in standard, custom and semi-custom designs for Industrial Inspection, Semiconductor, Life Sciences, Biomedical, R&D and Defense, Immersive Media, and Metrology.
The key to our success is our consultative approach to solving complex optical problems through inventive design techniques, the precision at which product is assembled, and the efficiency in which projects move through our business units.
The Navitar Companies
Together, Navitar, Pixelink and Special Optics provide integrated imaging solutions for every application. Our Navitar production facility manages a wide range of manufacturing volumes with speed, reliability and repeatability. Applications that require lower volumes and higher precision are typically managed by our Pixelink and/or Special Optics division.
Navitar has a history of designing innovative, next generation optical solutions ranging from modular zoom and fixed lens systems, ultra-precision microscope objectives, high volume electronic imaging lenses, cine prime lenses, and more.
Pixelink manufactures, optimizes and integrates industrial cameras for machine vision applications and microscope cameras for life science and digital microscopy applications. Product offerings include CMOS and CCD sensors, coupled with state-of-the-art high speed digital technologies such as USB 3.0, FireWire (IEEE 1394), USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE).
Pixelink’s latest camera models are equipped with the 12.3 MPixel Sony Pregius IMX253 (1.1”) and 8.9MPixel IMX255 (1”) sensors which support 4K Ultra HD video.
Located in Ottawa, ON, Canada, Pixelink has been a part of Navitar since 2017.
Special Optics, located in Denville, New Jersey, has been part of Navitar since 2008. Special Optics designs, manufactures and assembles high-quality, diffraction-limited optical systems and specialize in custom microscope objective lenses for applications requiring higher performance than standard off-the-shelf lenses can provide.

Part of AMETEK and ZYGO
In November 2022, Navitar became part of the AMETEK family of companies under the Ultra Precision Technologies Division. AMETEK, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electro-mechanical devices.
ZYGO, a leader in the design and manufacture of advanced optical metrology systems and ultra-precise components and assemblies, is headquartered in Middlefield, CT and joined AMETEK's Ultra Precision Technologies Division in 2014. Together, Zygo and Navitar look forward to collaborating on technologies and sharing resources in order to provide the best possible experience for our customers.
Zygo manufactures high-precision products in the following categories:
- 3D Optical Profiler Systems
- Laser Interferometer Systems
- Absolute Position Sensors
- Displacement Position Sensors
- Optical Components
- Optical Assemblies
While we are now part of the AMETEK family, we are still the same Navitar you have known and trusted for over 50 years, committed to providing high quality imaging and projection lens technology needs now and in the future.
Experience You Can Trust
With diverse expertise, our solution team includes optical, mechanical, quality, electrical and process engineers. We employ a highly-skilled assembly and testing team along with a dedicated group of solution managers that will assist in guiding all aspects of each project.
