Request InfoCarl Zeiss AG, Camera LensesOBERKOCHEN, Germany, May 13, 2019 — The Otus 1.4/100 DSLR lens from Carl Zeiss AG has a telefocal length that delivers high resolution and definition in any situation. The lens design, with aspheric lenses and special glass materials, keeps chromatic aberrations and distortion to a minimum. Even when shooting against the light, the T* anti-reflective coating allows for extremely high contrast while minimizing stray light. An extended rotation angle and smooth operation of mechanical components enable highly precise manual focusing. The stable full-metal housing with internal focusing ensures a consistent center of...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSEuroPhotonics Winter 2020 IssueFull-Frame Prime LensesThree high-speed, full-frame prime lenses have been added to the ZEISS Supreme Prime series of cine lenses, The 18-mm T1.5; the 40-mm T1.5; and the 200-mm T2.2 lenses are designed for high-end...Photonics Spectra July 2019 IssueIndustrial Drone LensThe Ventum 2.8/21 industrial lens from Carl Zeiss AG is a lightweight, wide-angle device that enables detailed, long-range shots for use with drones.

While the 20th was the century of film cameras, the 21st belongs to the digital camera.The digital camera represents an integration of optics, mechanics and electronics consisting of three layers (Figures 1a, b and c). The top and the middle layers are printed circuit boards (PCBs),...Photonics HandbookAspheric Lenses: Design Considerations: This first of two articles will cover design and manufacturing options for aspheres; the second will include more detail on manufacturing and testing processes. These articles will provide the tools optics designers need to tailor their designs to the appropriate manufacturing process and to optimize the cost of component fabrication.Aspheric surfaces are powerful tools that combine the optical corrections of multiple lenses into a single element (Figure 1) and affect performance in ways that spherical optics cannot. For example,...Photonics HandbookCamera Resolution: Combining Detector and Optics Performance: Most image-quality discussions center on resolution, which is thought to uniquely determine system performance. Resolution, however, is a more complex concept.Camera resolution depends upon the optical blur diameter and the detector size. Schade combined these to create an equivalent resolution that is a function of Fλ/d where F is the focal ratio,...Photonics HandbookOptical Components: Finding Your Way Through the Maze: Optical components fall into two basic groups: transmissives and reflectives. Transmissives include lenses, filters, windows, optical flats, prisms, polarizers, beamsplitters, wave plates, and fiber optics; reflectives include mirrors and retroreflectors. The performance of all may be enhanced with certain substrates and thin film coatings.Lenses come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. They can be made of a single piece of glass or have multiple elements; their surfaces can be spherical, aspheric or cylindrical; they can be...WHITEPAPERSPhotonics.com 5/24/2019Radiation Resistant LensesDrawing upon approaching 30 years experience — Resolve Optics has built a strong reputation for specialist lens design and manufacture of smaller production quantities of radiation resistant...Photonics.com 5/24/2019Replacing Hard to Source and Obsolete Optical ComponentsPeriodically organisations are faced with replacing hard to source or obsolete optical components within their camera, sensor, or instrument systems.
