Optik publishes articles on all subjects related to light and electron optics and offers a survey on the state of research and technical development within the following fields: 
Optics:
Optics design, geometrical and beam optics, wave optics
Optical and micro-optical components, diffractive optics, devices and systems
Photoelectric and optoelectronic devices
Optical properties of materials, nonlinear optics, wave propagation and transmission in homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials
Information optics, image formation and processing, holographic techniques, microscopes and spectrometer techniques, and image analysis
Optical testing and measuring techniques
Optical communication and computing
Physiological optics
As well as other related topics.

Electron optics:
All methods strongly related to light optics, e.g. geometrical electron optics, imaging theories and methods, GRIN optics, geometrical aberration
Instrumentation and equipments for guiding, focusing and imaging of charged particles, spectrometers and beam lithography
Image reconstruction and analysis, holographic methods
It publishes original papers and short notes on theoretical and experimental research in English. OPTIK addresses itself especially to scientific and technical working specialists in this field.
