Edmund Optics^® (EO), the premier provider of optical and imaging components, is proud to announce that their TECHSPEC^® Liquid Lens M12 Imaging Lenses received 2^nd place in the Vision category of the 2019 Inspect Awards.

Winners were voted on by more than 45,000 readers of Inspect, Messtec Drives Automation, and related online communities.

The award recognizes the versatility of the TECHSPEC^® Liquid Lens M12 Imaging Lenses, which combine the performance of a compact high-resolution imaging lens with the flexibility of a liquid lens.
