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 ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

The painstaking process of designing optical lenses for imaging systems is poised for a dramatic transformation thanks to a groundbreaking AI-powered method developed by researchers at King Abdullah ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems related to image aberrations in single-pixel microscopy using a recent ...

Here's an extraordinary photography project worth keeping an eye on. The Lensrentals team has been working on building the widest angle fisheye lens in existence, a C-4 Optics 4.9mm, f/3.5 ...

The optics of cylindrical lenses allow their use in applications for which spherical lenses are not suited. CVI Melles Griot has developed the technology for use in several markets. Cylindrical lenses ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.
