The Sun’s Surface in Stunning Detail

The Swedish Solar Telescope, run by the Institute for Solar Physics, can see at a resolution of up to 1.1 arc-seconds.

This corresponds to 70 km on the solar surface, meaning it can see details the size of a 10 cent euro coin at a distance of about 40 km. This was achieved by use of an adaptive optics system. The system relies on the EoSens ® CL by Mikrotron for high-speed imaging.

Located on the Canary Island of La Palma, the Swedish 1-meter Solar Telescope (SST) is the world’s leading facility for high resolution observations of the Sun. It is operated by the Institute for Solar Physics (ISF), which is part of Stockholm University’s department for Astrophysics. Research at the institute primarily aims to gain knowledge about the outer layer of the solar atmosphere, which is dominated by magnetic fields. How do magnetic fields arise? How are they formed and ultimately destroyed or removed from the solar surface? How do they affect the Sun‘s outer atmosphere? How do they give rise to solar storms and the radiant energy that the Sun emits?

Allied Vision Expands Goldeye Infrared Camera Series

Fast Goldeye G-033 with new InGaAs sensor and Cool version with enhanced sensor cooling added to the SWIR camera family.

Allied Vision introduces new models of its Goldeye infrared camera series at VISION 2014. The Goldeye is a Short-Wave Infrared camera (SWIR) that exhibits sensitivity between 900 and 1,700 nm.

Goldeye G-033: Fastest SWIR camera with GigE Vision interface
The new Goldeye G-033 features the latest InGaAs image sensor technology. It offers the same sensor resolution as the Goldeye G-032 (640 x 512 Pixels). However, with its smaller pixel size (15 µm vs. 25 µm), it can be used with more affordable lenses.

The Goldeye G-033 stands out of the crowd of SWIR cameras with InGaAs sensors with its very high frame rate. The new camera delivers more than 230 frames per seconds (fps) at full resolution in 12 bit mode. Reducing the resolution to QVGA (320 x 240) allows for a frame rate over 900 fps. This makes the Goldeye G-033 the perfect choice for many demanding applications requiring high speed, such as inline inspection (e.g. hot-end glass inspection) or plastics sorting using hyperspectral imaging in the recycling industry.

Goldeye Cool:
Enhanced sensor cooling for long exposure times
At VISION 2014, Allied Vision will also unveil the Cool version of the Goldeye for the first time. As a standard, all Goldeye models come with an active sensor cooling that ensures low-noise, high quality infrared images. The Goldeye G-032 and Goldeye G-033 are fitted with a fan-less Peltier element TEC1 (Thermo Electric Cooling), which can cool the sensor down by 30 K vs. housing temperature.

DataMan accurately reads 2-D codes on a high-speed folding machine


Instruction leaflets accompany pharmaceuticals to help ensure the appropriate directions are available to consumers. The pharmaceutical industry needs to be diligent in checking that the appropriate instruction leaflets accompany their packages. These leaflets need to be checked on both sides to ensure correct print and handling. This validation is done by matching the 2-D code on both sides of the leaflet with a reference code.

B3Servis is a folding machine builder that serves multiple industries in the Slovenian market, including pharmaceuticals. In order to maintain and grow its business in leaflet instructions printing, B3Servis wanted to comply with the latest GS1 recommendations for the healthcare sector. B3Servis’ business goal was to upgrade from the existing laser-based system that can only read 1-D codes to an image-based system, giving them the ability to reliably check 2-D codes on a high-speed folding machine. The folding machine processes up to 30,000 pieces per hour with a flyby speed of approximately three meters per second.


Instruction leaflets, handled by B3Servis, also come in different sizes and the codes will be positioned differently depending on the size, so the reader needs to support multiple configurations of the leaflets. In an effort to establish correct reads, it was often necessary to set the exact position of the tape in front of the readers. B3Servis turned to DataMan fixed-mount barcode readers to address code reading challenges on its printed instruction leaflets

Imaging Lenses


Imaging Lenses are used to view objects in imaging systems. Imaging Lenses are imaging components used in imaging systems to focus an image of an examined object onto a camera sensor. Depending on the lens, Imaging Lenses can be used to remove parallax or perspective error or provide adjustable magnifications, field of views, or focal lengths. Imaging Lenses allow an object to be viewed in several ways to illustrate certain features or characteristics that may be desirable in certain applications.

When optical designers attempt to compare the performance of optical systems, a commonly used measure is the modulation transfer function (MTF). MTF is used for components as simple as a spherical singlet lens to those as complex as a multi-element telecentric. In order to understand the significance of MTF, it is to consider some general principles and practical examples for defining MTF including its components, importance, and characterization.

Applications of Imaging Lenses
  • Industrial Cameras
  • Microscope Cameras
  • Integrated Optic Cameras
  • Board Cameras
  • Auto focus Cameras
  • Zoom Cameras
Some of the Imaging Lenses available with us are:-
