We are excited to invite you to the 68th Annual Meeting of the Israel Physical Society on April 3, 2023 9am, EXPO, Tel Aviv The IPS conference will serve as a window into the cutting edge of physics research in Israel. During the conference researchers and young physics students alike, have the opportunity to share their work with one another. We will also honor the newly selected IPS Fellows, and this year’s IPS prize winners.
Press Release: LUCID Launches Helios2 Wide 3D Time-of-Flight Camera Featuring Wide Field of View

LUCID Launches Helios2 Wide 3D Time-of-Flight Camera Featuring Wide Field of View
The new Helios™2 Wide 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera has entered series production.
Helios2 Wide integrates Sony’s DepthSense™ IMX556PLR back-illuminated ToF image sensor paired with a wide-angle lens and four wide-angle 850nm VCSEL laser diodes, providing a 108° Field of View (FoV). The camera is suited for applications with a close working distance and large area of operation such as full-size palettizing.
The Helios2 Wide offers the same IP67 and Factory Tough™ design as the regular Helios2 but quadruples the viewable area thanks to its wider 108° x 78° Field of View. This allows the Helios2 Wide to image a much larger area at the same distance of a Helios2 camera or image the same area but at a closer distance to the target, allowing for more flexibility with camera installation. Helios2 Wide offers a 640 x 480 depth resolution at up to an 8.3 meter working distance and a frame rate of 30 fps.

Cell alignment using an alignment table supported by polar plot representation
Manual Lens Barrel Alignment
Made Easy
Centration testing usually uses a mechanical reference such as the lens barrel axis as reference. In these cases, alignment of the barrel to the axis of rotation of the inspection system is critical. Watch this video to learn how to do this easily using OptiCentric® 9 software
Fast manual lens centration testing and alignment
OptiCentric® Compact
The OptiCentric® Compact is particularly suitable for measurement of single lenses and manual alignment of lens systems.
These tasks are quickly mastered thanks to the intuitive setup. The precise measurement with an accuracy of 0.1 µm forms the basis for manual alignment.

At the end of this webinar, participants will have a strong understanding of:
TRIOPTICS introduced two innovations to the OptiSurf® center thickness measurement system
17.01.2023
Optimizations for optics manufacturing
Faster, extended Center thickness measurement
TRIOPTICS presents two new enhancements to the OptiSurf® center thickness measurement system: a three times shorter measurement time and the new LensGage upgrade module, which enables determination of the center thickness without needing to know the refractive index of the material.
New Version – OptiSurf®
TRIOPTICS introduced the new version of the OptiSurf® center thickness measurement system.
All variants that operate with a test wavelength of 1.3 µm have been enhanced with an extensive upgrade to optimize data collection as well as the communication interface. As a result offers the fastest center thickness measurement on the market for complex lens systems with optical path lengths greater than 50 mm.
Extended field of application – OptiSurf® LTM with LensGage
With the LensGage module, the OptiSurf® center thickness measuring system allows the non-contact measurement of the center thickness without requiring knowledge about the material and the determination of the group refractive index. This information can then be applied to identify unknown glass materials.
Join us to Edmund Webinar – Comparing the Performance of Lens Geometries January 26, 2023
17.01.2023
Join us for a 30-minute webinar on January 26, 2023 11:00 AM – 11:30 AM ET
Presented by Edmund Optics’ experts Ian Schwartz and Oliva Fehlberg to learn how lens geometry affects the optical performance of your application.
Manufacturing tolerances can contribute to performance degradation, but optical aberrations affect nominal performance even for perfectly manufactured lenses. Since aberrations can dramatically affect spot size and image quality, deciding which lens is best for your application is not always straightforward.
At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will have a strong understanding of:
LUCID Expands its Advanced Sensing Portfolio with the Atlas10 Camera Featuring the Sony IMX487 Ultraviolet (UV) Sensor
17.01.2023
The Atlas10 10BASE-T camera is known for its industrial reliability offering Power over Ethernet (PoE+), robust M12 and M8 connectors, Active Sensor Alignment for superior optical performance, and a wide ambient temperature range of -20°C to 55°C.
“The Atlas10 UV offers excellent sensitivity in the UV wavelength and is packed with industrial features designed to provide high-speed and reliable operation in challenging environments,” says Rod Barman, President at LUCID Vision Labs. “The Sony IMX487 offers improved quantum efficiency, high dynamic range and reduced noise, enabling high-quality imaging for a broad range of advanced sensing applications.”
The Atlas10 is a GigE Vision and GenICam compliant camera capable of 10 Gbps data transfer rates and allows the use of standard CAT6 cables up to 25 meters. Atlas10 features Power over Ethernet (PoE+) that simplifies integration and reduces cost.
