Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:06-04:00Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) lenses have become an indispensable tool in various high-tech fields including surveillance, medical, surgery and pollution detection.
Custom Infrared and Thermal Imaging Lenses for OEM Applications
Universe Optics2025-10-16T13:57:20-04:00Thermal imaging systems allow users to visualize temperature differences that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. These systems are essential in critical applications ranging from emergency rescue and autonomous driving to energy audits and industrial inspection.
CCD Applications
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:09-04:00Charge-coupled devices, or CCDs, are electronic devices that are commonly used in digital cameras and other imaging devices. The CCD lens is a key component in these devices, allowing for high-quality images and video to be captured. […]
Deep Learning-based Analysis
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:20-04:00Radiological x-rays, ultrasounds and NMR’s are all forms of medical imaging that have traditionally required the flexibility of the human eye to detect anomalies within the human body. Since a computer is confused by busy backgrounds and image quality issues, it is difficult for a traditional machine vision algorithm to [...]
Neuroimaging With Machine Learning
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:21-04:00Studying the human mind is challenging. Currently, most human brain studies are limited to non-invasive approaches, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This limits the examination of the human brain at the cellular level, which may offer novel insights into the development and potential treatment of various neurological diseases. [...]
Transmission Electron Microscope
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:22-04:00TEM, or Transmission electron microscopy (also sometimes conventional transmission electron microscopy or CTEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a grid. An image is formed from the interaction of [...]
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:23-04:00A new kind of precise and non-invasive imaging called optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has assisted much of the recent research on the eye’s connection with Alzheimer’s. It enables physicians to see the smallest veins in the back of the eye, including the red blood cells moving through the retina. [...]
Four Types of Barcode Scanners
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:23-04:00Barcode scanners are extremely simple devices that can read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the bar code’s image data provided by the sensor [...]
M12 Lenses
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:23-04:00M12 Lenses, also referred to as S-Mount Lenses or Micro-Video Lenses, are board lenses used to focus an image onto a camera sensor. They are used in a variety of applications including automotive, forensics, pharmaceutical, and food inspection. These S-Mount Lenses are compact imaging lenses designed for use with many [...]
Optical Microscopy
Universe Optics2025-08-15T09:47:23-04:00First invented in the 17th century by Dutch scientist Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek, the optical microscope is the traditional form of microscopy, and is still in use today. Sometimes known as a light microscope, it uses a series of precision lenses to magnify images of small samples with visible light. [...]
