Optical metrology is crucial for precision in industrial quality control, especially in automotive and medical sectors. Unlike the human eye, cameras depend on pixel resolution for edge detection, making optics selection essential. Telecentric and endocentric lenses offer distinct benefits and limitations, helping professionals make informed decisions.

RGB-IR camera technology simultaneously captures standard color (RGB) and infrared (IR) light using a specialized filter. This integration enhances medical imaging by providing improved diagnostic capabilities through dual-spectrum capture.

Neutron imaging enhances aerospace valve inspection by detecting issues traditional methods like X-rays miss. It reveals contaminants and allows for detailed 3D models, improving the assessment of complex valve assemblies.

Advancements in Contact Image Sensor (CIS) technology are transforming machine vision. They offer high speed, resolution, and a compact design ideal for tight inspection tasks in battery and PCB production lines. With features like high dynamic range and accurate metrology, CIS enhances quality control and efficiency in modern manufacturing.

Modern vision systems need high-performance wide-angle lenses for applications like autonomous robots and agricultural monitoring. Rectilinear lenses offer straight lines and high resolution without the barrel distortion of fisheye lenses, enabling accurate object detection and real-time performance without the need for post-processing corrections.

The cost and lead times for Germanium optical components have skyrocketed.

The famous quote "Adapt or die" applies to businesses like Kodak and Blockbuster, which missed out on opportunities by not embracing new technologies. This concept also applies to industries like manufacturing and logistics today.

Teledyne e2v announces OnyxMax™, the next generation of its Onyx 1.3M low light CMOS image sensor.

Microscope objectives focus light and form images. There are two types: finite and infinite conjugate. Designers consider magnification, numerical aperture (NA), and cost. NA is important but not the only factor in performance.
