July 15, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Investrend Forums Syndicate) (By Gary Vassalotti, LIFA) — LightPath Technologies (LPTH) recently announced the addition of “thermal imaging lens assemblies.”

OK. Maybe you’re saying, “that’s a mouthful.” And maybe you’re thinking it sounds boring. Or maybe you’re wondering what (if anything) it means to you.

Well, yes, it is a mouthful, and it may even sound a bit boring, but then, boring can be a money-making product for LightPath and a cost-saving product for its customers. And, if you hold LightPath stock, when LightPath makes money you should also see the value of your stock move up. And suddenly it is not so boring, after all.

The infrared lens assemblies are designed to be a lower cost replacement for more expensive standard optical IR lenses. The LightPath product does not require cooling (again, lowering costs for the manufacture and the end consumer), and its focal length will experience less of a change due to heat than the traditional lenses. The lenses are used in biomedical instruments and data storage devices. LightPath estimates that those markets were worth $93mm and $1.4 billion in 2009.

Interested parties should tune in to Fox Business News to listen to LightPath's CEO Jim Gaynor talk about the company's recent activities and discuss where he sees the company’s future growth. You can tune in July 14th at 1pm, or July 24th at 1pm.
