Space – The Final Frontier

Many different types of optical imaging and sensing systems are used to observe and measure the Earth and the Universe at large. However, designing optical systems for satellites and spacecraft is challenging due to the harsh conditions that space places upon...

Large format optical module enhances high-speed imaging

A new case study describes how Specialised Imaging chose Resolve Optics to design and supply new large format 8-channel and 16-channel beamsplitter optical modules, with user changeable filters, to upgrade the design of their SIM multi-channel framing camera to meet...

SWIR lenses in the Press

Traditional methods for identifying good from damaged fruit, vegetables, and grain have relied upon the visible inspection of parameters such as shape, size, colour, texture, and defects to determine quality. Many thanks to Food Safety Magazine. They report how...

Large Format Optical Module for High-Speed Imaging

Resolve Optics reports that it has designed and supplied new 8-channel and 16-channel beam splitter optical modules to Specialised Imaging (Pitstone, UK) for the next generation of their SIM multi-channel framing camera. The SIM family of ultra-high-speed cameras are...

How do radiation resistant lenses maintain throughput?

When exposed to Gamma or X-ray radiation the majority of optical materials will change colour, typically dark brown, resulting in almost total loss of transmission. Fortunately, standard optical glass can be stabilized against the transmittance loss caused by ionizing...
