TracePro provides a comprehensive set of tools to view and analyze results of a ray trace simulation, including: Irradiance/Illuminance Maps show irradiance, CIE xy or u'v', and true color maps of light incident on, absorbed by, or exiting a selected surface. Multiple options are available to...
Magfrenl uses a Fresnel surface to correct the geometrical aberration and a diffractive surface to correct the chromatic aberration of a simple magnifier. Magnifyr is a plano-convex singlet set up as a visual magnifier. It shows how to set up the pupils for such a system, and serves as a base...
Question Whenever I trace a chief ray, it appears as though the radius of my reference sphere is calculated to be infinite even though I have set the position of the reference sphere to follow the location of the exit pupil. What is wrong? Synopsis Reference sphere radius always calculated to be...
Hubble is the design formula used for the original Hubble Space Telescope. Note that the original telescope was not manufactured to this design, which caused the problem. The Hubble telescope has become famous for many reasons, not the least of which is the well-known fabrication error that has now...
Question I am unable to change the color of an object I imported into TracePro from a CAD file. How can this be resolved? Synopsis Unable to change the color of an object imported from a CAD file Symptoms OBSERVATION
Question What is the definition of DN? I notice that if I load N-BK7 from the Schott catalog, convert it into a model glass, and mark the dispersion (DN) of the glass as a variable, the initial DN is calculated as DN = 0.246045 while the VNBR = 64.16641. How do you calculate one from the other? ...
All graphic windows are resizable, zoomable and updatable. A recall parameters dialog box (to set field point(s), wavelength, scales...) and direct on-line help are easily accessible. Several graphical analysis routines formerly in the built-in library have now been supplied in CCL, making it easy...
