Learn what cylindrical lenses are, how they work, and how they are used in different systems in this guide by Edmund Optics.

UV grade fused silica is ideal for UV and visible applications, but IR grade fused silica has better transmission in the IR due to a lack of OH- impurities.

Are you designing a system and debating whether or not to use in-line illumination? Read more about the proper time to use in-line and comparisons at Edmund Optics.

Learn about specifications that should be considered when using cylinder lenses, including power axis wedge, plano axis wedge, and axial twist at Edmund Optics.

Think you don't need telecentric illumination in machine vision applications? Find out why you need telecentric illumination at Edmund Optics.

Telecentric illumination is quickly becoming the illumination of choice for precision metrology due to its ability to produce "hard" edges that can be easily analyzed.
