“How will this lens perform?” It may sound like a simple question, but the answer can be complicated.

フレネルレンズは物理寸法的に薄い形状ながらも、従来の光学レンズと同様に光を一点に集めることができます。しかしながら、物理的に薄い以外にも幾つかの利点が存在します。フレネルレンズの原理と利点、製造、アプリケーション事例までを説明。

光学レンズやミラー、ウインドウの製品群に最も共通した製造や仕上げ、及び材料に関する仕様の説明。 製造上の仕様：直径公差・中心厚公差・曲率半径・偏芯・平行度・角度公差・面取り・有効径。 外観上の仕様：表面品質、平面度、パワー、イレギュラリティ、面粗さ。 材料上の仕様：屈折率、アッベ数、レーザー耐力。

非球面レンズのメリットは、球面収差を補正する能力です。球面収差は、光の一点集光やコリメートする際に、球面形状の光学素子を使う時に生じます。ここでは非球面レンズの特徴やその性能のメリットから、その製造方法、タイプ別の利点や選定方法を紹介します。

波長板と位相差板の用語、仕様、製作、構造。及び、正しい波長板の選定やアプリケーション事例について。位相差板としても知られる波長板は、光を透過し、ビームを減衰、偏位、あるいは変位させることなく、その偏光状態を修正します。波長板は、偏光の一つの成分をそれが直交する成分に対して位相を遅らせる (遅延させる) ことによって偏光状態を変化させます。

赤外透過材料の物理的特性は各種一様ではないため、各材料の特長を知ることでIRアプリケーションに対する正しい材料の選定が可能になります。ここでは赤外の概論から、正しい材料を用いる重要性、正しい材料の選定、赤外透過材料の比較を紹介します。

In imaging, light rays are mapped from an object onto an imaging sensor by an imaging lens, to reproduce the characteristics and likeness of the object for the purposes of inspection, sorting, or analysis.

Fluorescence imaging systems are composed of three major components, an illumination source, a photo-activated fluorophore sample, and detector.
