Leached Image Guides/Bundles
Image bundles made of optical glass fiber for image transfer. Application: Endoscopes, borescopes
- Flexible type: Leached image guides consisting of flexible and coherent fiber optic bundles are used for transmitting optical images from one end to the other, which are suitable for endoscopes in narrow and elongated spaces.
Fiber optic components consisting of single fiber diameter 4 - 8 microns in bundles of thousands to 16 thousands, all precisely aligned together at both ends. This structure enables transmission of an image to the other end of the bundle. Our image bundles are used for medical and industrial use in the latest products.

Endoscope Lenses/ Lens Units
Objective lens units for 1/6, 1/10, 1/11, and 1/18 CCD and CMOS image sensors
All the lenses are aspheric lenses, enabling bright and deep depth-of-field.
1/18 lenses are ideal for small-diameter endoscopes for medical and industrial use.

Strengths / Specialties
- Based on technology in R&D of optical glass materials, SUMITA has been developing original optical glass materials for lenses and optical fibers.
This technology, for example, enables us to manufacture optical fibers which have wide/narrow N.A. which are suitable for medical light guides.
Our integrated production system allows us to do everything from optical glass composition development to lens and system design and manufacturing.
- Using our core technologies of optical glass and precise molding, we produce not only single aspherical lenses, but also micro-lens arrays and complex shaped lenses.
- Since we produce our own multicomponent glass fiber, we possess a vast lineup, and our products have been used for years in a wide range of fields for industrial and medical applications both in Japan and the international market.
- The combination of the technology in glass science and expertise in optical designing, manufacturing and assembling small and complex medical parts helps doctors operate minimally invasive treatments/surgeries with our small endoscope parts, and allows inspectors to see more of small areas.
- We also handle OEM production of optical parts for ultrafine endoscopes.
- We have obtained ISO 13485 certification. We also have approval for the manufacture, repair and sales of medical equipment.
