Resolve Optics Ltd. reports that it has supplied a number of non-browning zoom lens to Custom Cameras Ltd (Wells, UK) to enable the company to supply fully integrated radiation tolerant camera systems for monitoring applications in the Nuclear industry.
In highly radioactive environments where camera servicing or replacement is not an option - Custom Cameras sought a proven supplier of high performance, radiation tolerant zoom lenses. Tony Moon, Sales Director of Custom Cameras commented “Over the last 10 years we have purchased non-browning 3x and 6x zoom lens from Resolve Optics enabling us to provide optimised remote camera systems for applications including inspection of nuclear fuels rods for oxidation, deterioration or damage ; checking the integrity of nuclear fuel chambers and monitoring low level radioactive storage containers”...
Resolve Optics has developed a variant of its Model 207 miniature motorised zoom lens enabling a manufacturer of remotely operated vehicles (ROV’s) to help improve the deep sea welding capability of their system.
Traditionally underwater welding repair to secure the integrity of pipes and other marine structures has been carried out by diving welders. To carry out such tasks these highly trained individuals face the perils of deep water and because of poor visibility welding joint quality has often been variable. For these reasons remotely operated vehicles have become increasingly popular for underwater welding projects....
Offered in a choice of 40, 80 or 120mm focal lengths the Resolve Optics Model 320 fixed focus IR lens uniquely combines high quality, high throughput, compactness and robustness at an affordable price.
Infrared (IR) lenses can often be very expensive and it can be difficult to find a lens that meets your specific needs. The Model 320 range of fixed focus Germanium lenses come with antireflective coatings that provide high performance (f2) throughout the IR waveband (8-14 microns) making them perfect for thermal imaging applications....
