Question "Which tools within TracePro are you aware of for the detection of vignetting? What is your strategy? One (clumsy) way which comes to my mind would be the following: check that the object plane (which is to be imaged) is really imaged by the system to the plane of observation by applying...
Question Is it possible to use OSLO for designing interferometers? Synopsis Using OSLO for interferometry Solution In an interferometer, the user designs two different optical paths or "arms" of the system. This is easily done by creating two configurations using skip surfaces in OSLO. The current...
Question I have applied a RepTile "bump-type" Property to a surface in my TracePro model. Why are the bumps still below the surface of the object?
Question There appears to be an error in the focal length formula for the Landscape Lens Exercise in the OSLO 6.1 Optics Reference. Is this the case? Synopsis Focal length formula mistake (Landscape Lens Exercise) in Optics Reference Symptoms The first sentence at the top of page 33 (42) in the...
Question I have just installed OSLO and I cannot seem to make the Insert Catalog Lens dialog appear. When I right click on a surface number in the Surface Data Spreadsheet and choose Insert Catalog Lens from the resulting pop-up menu, nothing happens. Is this a known problem? How do I fix this? ...
Schmidt shows the application of an aspheric surface as well as an obstruction in the setup of a wide-field telescope. A Schmidt camera consists of a spherical mirror with an aspheric corrector plate at or near the center of curvature of the mirror. The purpose of the aspheric plate is to correct...
In this tutorial we will show a combination of a doublet and meniscus singlet for a high-speed (i.e., large N.A.) focusing systems. We will use a combination of MG01LAO126 followed by a meniscus singlet MG01LAM126, which will have approximatelythe desired paraxial properties and warrants...
