Long Night of Science 2024

Thank you for visiting our world of small GRIN lenses!

Our main product is smaller than 2 millimetres – and yet there was still a huge amount to discover at the Long Night of Science on 22 November in Jena. Dancing robots, glowing pudding and a look behind the scenes of state-of-the-art measurement technology with a total of eleven guided tours. We were overwhelmed by your interest in our work. Thank you very much for your visit and the interesting conversations we were able to have!

Interactive showroom, exciting production tour and robot competition

GRINTECH GmbH in the Jena21 industrial estate invited visitors on a journey of discovery through miniature worlds. Visitors were able to explore the inner workings of vegetables via endoscopy and discover what a bell pepper looks like on the inside. At our microscopy station, small details also became very large.

Our robot “Georg” was in constant use and eagerly sorted glass rods.

In our interactive exhibition room, our guests learned about the principle of GRIN lenses. With our unique GRIN pudding, we demonstrated the path that light takes through our special microlenses. Unfortunately, the pudding was not edible.

All young and old artists were also able to immortalize their own work of art with laser engraving. This station was very popular and many beautiful bookmarks were created.

And for those who wanted something more technical and informative, our exciting guided tours through various production areas were just the thing: from optical measurement technology, ion exchange and precision optics to the mechanics workshop. In total, we gave around 300 guests an insight behind the scenes at GRINTECH on November 22 – thank you once again for this great interest!

About us

We have been specialists in micro-optics for almost 25 years. Our specialty: GRIN lenses – small lenses with flat front surfaces and diameters of less than 2 millimetres. We use these to build miniaturized optical systems that are used, for example, in optical sensor technology, biomedicine and endoscopy. Our almost 50 employees were delighted to present our small lenses in a big way at the Long Night of Science.
