Lens is radiation-hardened

Dec. 12, 2006
New lens is designed to provide high performance with large-image-format remote-head cameras used in applications including nuclear vision and astronomical star tracking. The 20-mm fixed-focus nonbrowning lens can withstand radiation exposure up to 53 kGy and temperatures up to 55°C without discoloration. Designed to give a 40° field of view in both the vertical and horizontal planes and 25 cycles/mm, the lens has been optimized for a 12.8 × 12.8-mm image sensor.
