👉 Liquid lenses, also known as fluidic lenses, are a type of adaptive optical component that utilize a fluid-filled chamber to dynamically change their focal length. Unlike traditional glass lenses, which have fixed shapes, liquid lenses consist of a transparent, flexible material with an internal chamber containing a liquid medium. By applying pressure or altering the fluid's properties, the shape of the lens can be adjusted in real-time. This adaptability makes them highly useful in applications requiring rapid focus changes, such as in cameras, microscopes, and endoscopes. The ability to fine-tune the lens curvature on demand allows for superior performance in varying conditions and enhances image quality by compensating for aberrations.
