Optical components that create two beams by splitting incident light are beamsplitters. Read more about the different types of beamsplitters at Edmund Optics.

Image Quality of a Telecentric with the Flexibility of a Liquid Lens

Optics aid in the quick and accurate serological detection of antibodies to determine if a subject has an immune response to COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and multispectral imaging (MSI) are two related technologies that make use of specialized vision systems to acquire extra image information from extended regions of the electromagnetic spectrum aside from the visible spectrum.

Innovative ultra-thin filters provide flexibility, scratch resistance, and durability comparable to most hard oxide coatings. Learn more at Edmund Optics.

The growth of automation has introduced machine vision lenses to more harsh environments involving shock, vibration, contaminants, and temperature swings.

Trimming the Fat: Truncating Lenses to Shrink Systems

Mounting flat mirrors by their edges in a kinematic mount imparts stress onto the mirror surface. This results in distortion and reduced quality of the reflected wavefront, which is especially noticeable when using high-quality mirrors. Stemmed mirrors, on the other hand, are mounted from a smaller diameter “stem” protruding from the back of the mirror, resulting in significantly reduced stress on the mirror surface, high stability, and cost reduction and can be used as a replacement for a more expensive and complex kinematic mount and a conventional mirror.
