Resolve Fills Major Order for Nuclear-Inspection Optics
Photonics Spectra
Dec 2015Resolve Optics Ltd. has received its single largest order to date for nonbrowning zoom lenses from nuclear inspection specialist Visatec GmbH of Sulzburg, Germany.
Visatec plans to use the lenses in its high-radiation-resistant pan-tilt-zoom tube cameras for a project in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The cameras, with integrated LED lighting, are designed for visual inspection in nuclear areas, in applications including the inspection of fuel elements, pressure vessels and nuclear cores, as well as the inspection of loading and offloading nuclear materials.

They also provide high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 750 nm.
