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...

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...

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...

Do all types of zoom lens offer the same advantages and disadvantages? A new technical note compares traditional zoom and optically corrected zoom lenses and explains why the latter offers a...

To realise the full performance of your machine vision camera or sensor it needs to be matched with the most appropriate lens. As a supplier of specialist lenses to machine vision suppliers and...

Did you know that you can work out the effective clear diameter of a lens based on its focal length and its aperture according to the formula below. Focal length / Aperture = Clear Diameter To read...

Did you know that you can estimate the optimal length of a new zoom lens as it will be about the same as the longest focal length of the optical design. For instance - if you have a 10 to 100mm...

Lenses used in factory automation, industrial inspection, military and robotics applications are often subject to vibrations or shocks which can result in degradation of performance or even complete...

We live in a world where optical components for a camera, instrument or sensor are often viewed as off-the-shelf items. Unfortunately accepting the convenience of incorporating off-the-shelf optics...
