Endoscopes
Endoscope optics are at the core of who we are and how we came to be in the optics industry. The first device created by Sunex was a laparoscope, nearly thirty years ago. Since then, endoscope technology has advanced greatly, and our optics technology has progressed alongside it. A few of the recent endoscopy projects we have had the fortune of working on include both single-use and reusable colonoscopes, laparoscopes and duodenoscopes. We believe specialty and single-use endoscopes are the future of the industry.
Traditionally, endoscopes were expensive and required meticulous sterilization after each use. However, the advent of single-use endoscopes has revolutionized the medical landscape, offering advantages for patients and providers alike. With streamlined service, increased patient safety, reduced costs and reduced environmental impact, single-use is the future of endoscopy.
While there are numerous advantages, designing and manufacturing these endoscopes comes with plenty of challenges as well. Sunex is proud to have brought multiple single-use endoscopes to market, navigating the balance between cost effectiveness and high performance.
If a lens can couple a large FOV and low distortion, in a small package, it is the ideal candidate for the future of endoscopy.

Dedicated Medical Device Assembly
We have dedicated an entire sector of our manufacturing operation to ensure lenses and modules produced for medical applications are delivered with the utmost cleanliness. From when raw goods enter our factory to when items leave in vacuum-sealed packages, they are in a clean room environment.
Custom Medical Modules
The shift of a lens’s focal point over a wide temperature range is a physical phenomenon based on the material-specific expansion and contraction with temperature. A decrease in image quality could be the outcome if the focal point of the lens relative to the sensor’s image plane shifts too much. A fully athermalized system requires selecting appropriate optical and mechanical materials, the right design strategy, and close collaboration with the customer to optimize thermal performance on a system level.
Fast Prototyping
We provide prototyping services for complete lens assemblies often as the first step after a new custom design.
Sunex can produce prototypes with short lead times to verify the design before transitioning further on the path to mass production using state-of-the-art fabrication processes for glass and plastic optical elements and all mechanical components.
