50mm, f/2.8 Cr Series Fixed Focal Length Lens

Anti-reflection (AR) coatings are applied to optical components to increase throughput and reduce hazards caused by back-reflections.

Optical coatings are used to influence the transmission, reflection, or polarization properties of an optical component.

This demonstration exemplifies why wavelength and f/# can drastically affect the performance of imaging systems and should not be overlooked.

Working distance and focal length are two of the most fundamental parameters of any imaging system. Learn more in this hands-on video demo.
