Industry News
An antireflection coating quotation needs a wavelength range, incidence-angle conditions, polarization and a clear reflectance limit. Without those conditions, two promising transmission curves may describe different tests rather than equivalent coatings.
Read article →An aspheric lens sample should be approved against a controlled surface prescription and a defined test method. A focal-length check alone does not document whether the intended aspheric form has been made and assembled correctly.
Read article →A wedged optical window needs both an orientation requirement and an optical acceptance test. Surface flatness, the angle between its faces and the transmitted wavefront describe different properties; one result should not silently stand in for another.
Read article →A cylindrical lens drawing should connect the powered axis to the mounting datums. Before approving a sample, agree which faces locate the optic and how axis rotation, wedge and centration will be checked in that arrangement.
Read article →Resolve Optics promoted radiation-tolerant imaging in the context of VISION 2026. Its Model 419 technical announcement provides historical background for reviewing what a harsh-environment lens specification must cover.
Read article →Isuzu Glass’s 8 October notice announces participation in Photonics Innovation 2026 in Yokohama. Its current molded-glass array portfolio gives component buyers a useful preparation point for technical discussions.
Read article →The VISION 2026 award programme describes photonicSENS’s light-field camera platform. Its optical arrangement shows why a microlens array needs an assembly and calibration specification, not just a component drawing.
Read article →Excelitas’s VISION 2026 demonstration announcement brings a practical lens-buying issue into focus: the detector’s spectral response and the lens’s specified imaging band must be reviewed separately.
Read article →Tamron’s 8 October announcement adds its 20–40mm F2.8 Model A062 to Nikon Z full-frame cameras. For optical-component buyers, it is a current example of combining zoom range, aperture and package constraints.
Read article →Corning’s current Varioptic portfolio provides a useful lens-selection case for inspection stations with changing object distances. This is a technology observation, rather than a newly announced product launch.
Read article →Schneider-Kreuznach’s VISION 2026 portfolio highlights two separate demands on industrial lenses: covering larger sensors and imaging beyond the visible band.
Read article →OPTOWL scheduled its infrared metalens concept for VISION Stuttgart, held on 6–8 October 2026. The proposal gives buyers of compact machine vision lenses a reason to review optical performance alongside the available mounting space.
