Forvia has been granted a patent for a process to manufacture optical lenses from glass. The method involves tempering a glass blank, press-molding it between molds to form the lens, and using an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical lenses play a crucial role in a vast array of applications, from microscopy and astronomy to photography, medical devices, and machine vision systems. Traditionally, the ...

The expected periscope camera system in a future iPhone could include actuators, allowing the lens to move for autofocus and optical image stabilization applications, without requiring a massive ...

Resolve Optics is a leading supplier of application optimized relay lenses that improve the efficiency of image intensifiers. An image intensifier is a device for increasing the intensity of available ...

Engineers have built a camera that does not need lenses to focus light. It can switch from a fish-eye to a telephoto lens instantaneously. Traditional cameras -- even those on the thinnest of cell ...

A camera usually requires a lens system to capture a focused image, and the lensed camera has been the dominant imaging solution for centuries. A lensed camera requires a complex lens system to ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is one feature that many smartphones have these days. In fact, some brands even use this feature as a selling point. Although OIS is very common, there are also ...

Innovative new optical components based on “birdbath”, holographic, and dynamic focus tuning effects are being tipped to replace Fresnel lenses in extended reality (XR) headset designs over the coming ...

THE author is “examiner in photography and theoretical and applied optics to the Spectacle Makers' Company,” and states that the primary object of this volume is to cover the ground of this company's ...
