STAR Optical’s 6-inch (152 millimeters) f/10 achromatic objective lens features hand-figuring and full multicoatings. The optics come in a precision-machined, push-pull aluminum black-anodized cell.

Microscopes: a typical application of a good quality microscope objective is an achromatic lens, which provides a clear and no chromatic aberration image, which is essential for observing and studying ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately focused on a single point even if they have different wavelengths. The new lens ...

Using 3D printing and porous silicon, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed compact, visible wavelength achromats that are essential for miniaturized and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Planar optical components are crucial to realize miniaturized optical systems and integrated optoelectronic devices. In particular, metasurfaces – 2D structured materials with ...

As a promising candidate for next-generation mobile platform, mixed reality (MR) such as Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest Pro (both are passthrough virtual reality headsets) has potential to ...

Images, and the devices that capture them, are my focus. I've covered cameras at PCMag for the past 14 years, which has given me a front row seat for the changeover from DSLRs to mirrorless cameras, ...
