Request InfoResolve Optics Ltd.The Model 290 motorized nonbrowning zoom lens from Resolve Optics Ltd. operates in applications subject to radiation, such as nuclear fuel handling, reactor active zones and nuclear waste storage plants. It uses special glass that can withstand long-term exposure to radiation up to a dose of 100 million radians and temperatures to 55 °C without discoloration. The 6x lens features slip clutches and electronic noise suppression. Operating at f/1.8, it provides high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 750 nm, and it can image objects from 800 mm to infinity without...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 12/1/2022Custom Radiation-tolerant LensesCustom radiation-tolerant lenses from Resolve Optics Ltd. can match any camera, sensor, or application nuclear power, reprocessing, and waste storage plants.
