Request InfoResolve Optics Ltd.CHESHAM, England, June 30, 2011 — Model 287, a wide-angle lens adapter from Resolve Optics Ltd., is designed to double the field of view (FOV) throughout the zoom range of any zoom camera. To date, all off-the-shelf wide-angle adapters have offered a compromise between FOV, distortion and resolution. If the lens achieves the required FOV and minimal distortion, the compromise will be in the resolution, and so on. The result often is “milky,” out-of-focus images that get progressively worse as full zoom is realized. Model 287 provides a true 0.5× field of view while maintaining minimal distortion...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSVision Spectra Winter 2022 IssueSWIR CameraThe Wildcat+ 640 SWIR camera from Xenics NV is dedicated to demanding industrial vision applications such as process monitoring, machine vision, medicine, and more, along with scientific uses. ...Vision-Spectra.com January 2024 IssueMacro LensesThe MC3M series from Opto Engineering are macro lenses made to fit sensors up to 1.1 in.
