Request InfoResolve Optics Ltd.Resolve Optics Ltd. has introduced a 0.5× wide-angle adapter that provides a true 0.5× field of view while maintaining minimal distortion and high resolution throughout a camera's zoom range. The adapter is designed to work with the moving pupils of zoom lenses and in combination with high-index glasses, resulting in a high-quality lens that has full "zoom through" capability to provide high-contrast images, regardless of zoom position. Resolution and focus are maintained to the edges of the image. Each lens is individually collimated to maintain the full focus range of the prime lens.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 4/17/2024Zoom-Enabled 3D ScannerThe SmartScan VR800 from Hexagon AB is an optical 3D scanner with a motorized zoom lens that enables users to adjust data resolution and measurement volume entirely through software settings.
