Key Takeaways

  • A scientific institute faced distortion and chromatic aberration issues in high-performance lenses, affecting image quality and accuracy for scientific observation.
  • Avantier crafted a fisheye lens with controlled F-θ distortion (<2%) and chromatic aberration (<0.04mm). The lens ensured accurate target acquisition and maintained high image quality, eliminating the need for distortion correction.
  • Achieving an excellent optical resolution, the lens exhibited MTF values surpassing 0.2 at 200lp/mm, 0.3 at 160lp/mm, and 0.5 at 120lp/mm.
  • Avantier’s fisheye lens met diverse application needs, garnering trust for its design prowess and high-quality products in scientific, military, and consumer fields.

 

A scientific research institute approached Avantier to manufacture custom lenses. This research organization uses high-performance lenses for scientific observation and research, and high image quality and accuracy were required. However, the customer was having problems with distortion and chromatic aberration with conventional lenses, which affected image quality and consistency in situations where high quality images and accurate positional information were required.

Avantier therefore offered this type of lens.
