Aside from the coating and two extra thumb screws on the lens body, it's basically identical to the production version. obscura0rex SHARE Most lenses handle visible light just fine. Start dabbling in ...

Infrared inspections often involve analyzing temperature variations on something extremely small or too far away to see the needed detail with standard lenses. The 25 micron macro lens can identify ...

Researchers at Flinders University have discovered a new low-cost material that can be made into lenses for thermal imaging – pointing to new advanced manufacturing applications for this powerful ...

A team created the next generation of long-wave infrared plastic lenses. The plastic, a sulfur-based polymer forged from waste generated by refining fossil fuels, is incredibly useful for lenses, ...

Photographers looking to add a little creativity to their video or photographs may be interested in a new range of infrared camera filters launched via Kickstarter this month in the form of the ...

Scientists have developed a lens-free mid-infrared camera using a modern twist on pinhole imaging. The system uses nonlinear crystals to convert infrared light into visible, allowing standard sensors ...

A team of researchers in China has developed a lens-free imaging system that produces sharp mid-infrared images even in low light and across long distances. The breakthrough promises improvements for ...

[Project 326] has a cheap thermal camera that plugs into a smart phone. Sure they are handy, but what if you could hack one into a microscope with a resolution measured in microns? It is easier than ...
