Meadowlark Optics

Meadowlark's own Tom Baur and Michael Kraemer teamed up for an article in this month's Photonics Spectra. Take a look: buff.ly/4cVohzF #polarization #liquid crystal #meadowlarkoptics #photonicsspectra

Happy Independence Day! Meadowlark Optics is closed July 4, reopening Friday, July 5. If you want outstanding optical components, you can visit meadowlark.com any time! #shopopticsonline #meadowlarkoptics

50 years ago today the first product barcode scan was performed. Now - the compact beam scanner out of Montana State University broadens application options: buff.ly/3VqYDMn #compactscanner #versalightpolarizer #meadowlarkoptics

In the close-up on the left, check out the chain of bright dots, mirrored from one side to the other. These are the young star clusters. On the right, take a look at the group of glowing yellow galaxies at the center. These form the galaxy cluster acting as a “magnifying glass.”

Longtime Meadowlark partner Dr. Catalin Chiritescu, CEO of Phi Optics, appreciates both Meadowlark's products and people. See what he has to say: buff.ly/3VUPIV9 #testimonial #phioptics #meadowlarkoptics

The world’s most powerful space telescope has done it again. Webb has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy — shattering its own previous record. This galaxy existed only 290 million years after the big bang: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2024/05/3…

Our hearts are with the military families remembering their loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Meadowlark offices are closed in honor of Memorial Day. We look forward to working with you when we return tomorrow.

Meadowlark has exceptional custom quality AND a great selection. Our catalog waveplates boast outstanding performance and the tightest specs in the industry. See for yourself: buff.ly/4btjiGD #bestwaveplates #rightonspec #meadowlarkoptics

Meadowlark Optics Founder, Tom Baur, spoke at the 2024 commencement for the Physics Department at CU Boulder. Meadowlark components were used in the Nobel Prize work of two CU alumni, Eric Cornell and Carl Weiman. meadowlark.com/bose-einstein-…

This #BlackHoleWeek, we're pulled in by the farthest active supermassive black hole ever spotted. Webb's image shows the black hole's host: GN-z11, a galaxy that existed when our 13.8 billion-year-old universe was only about 430 million years old. More: go.nasa.gov/4dujNS2

Our Founder Tom Baur notes regarding the solar eclipse: "Recently we built an optic called Andre that is being used at DKIST in Hawaii as part of studies of this eclipse... The corona is so faint that it is almost impossible to study except from space or during a total eclipse."

On August 24, 2006, Pluto was downgraded by the International Astronomy Union (IAU) to a "dwarf planet." Perhaps if Tombaugh had better optics, they could have avoided this whole status issue. Need some great optics? meadowlark.com/?utm_campaign=… #pluto #dwarfplanet #meadowlarkoptics

SPIE O&P attendees, stop by Booth 445 today! We ❤️ when you tell us about your work! Pick up a replacement pocket polarizer while you're at it. Here's more info and the show floor plan: bit.ly/45GU6ZO

Two years of muon research can't be wrong. Can it? See the article: bit.ly/3YxWa4a #muons #particlephysics #meadowlarkoptics

Don't buy that polarizer! At least don't buy it YET. See all the components Meadowlark makes, complete with personalized service and a library of resources, before you flip that switch. bit.ly/3EYt5oL #customandcatalogoptics #polarizationspecialists #meadowlarkinnovation

A color-changing tattoo? While it very well may be an innovative aesthetic to wear a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't artwork, what if it could also tell you when you are in danger of excess sun exposure? cnn.it/449gYQv #solarfreckle #CUBoulder #meadowlarkoptics,
