High-Definition vs Ultra High-Definition Lenses

High-Definition vs Ultra High-Definition Lenses

Vision and imaging systems typically require a camera, imaging sensor and lens operating together to provide a working solution. For them to work optimally, all the components must be matched properly. Our new tech note discusses the trade-offs you should consider...
Wide-angle lenses with low distortion

Wide-angle lenses with low distortion

Traditionally wide-angle lenses suffer from image distortion. Depending on how you calculate the distortion you will typically be looking at between 5 to 15%. The lens will also require a very large front clear aperture. Both the distortion and the large diameter...
