In a recent exclusive interview with Imaging & Machine Vision Europe – Resolve Optics’ Rob Watkinson discusses the challenge of developing optical products for use in high radiation environments, and the latest CMOS sensor lens developments. Focusing on the...
Why choose an athermalized lens

Why choose an athermalized lens

Athermalized imaging lenses are designed to operate over extreme changes in temperature, whilst minimising the performance changes that often occur with a standard off-the-shelf lens. Because the different materials in a lens expand and contract at different rates, it...
Custom imaging lenses

Custom imaging lenses

Over the last 25 years we have worked closely with customers to design high performance lenses optimised to their application. These custom lenses have included production quantities of fixed focus, zoom, large format, wide angle, HD resolution, CCTV, telephoto, relay...
