Showing how to add LINOS prisms and how to create custom prisms The rules that govern the location of surface and components when working with tilts and decenters This describes the ray fan related plots - OPD, TRA, Longiitudinal aberration, OSC/Isoplanetism and the ray fan tableĪn overview of the features used to setup and analyse tilts and decenters in WinLens3D - it includes the neat prism wizard This describes the chief ray or field aberration plots - astigmatism, distortion & lateral colour We discuss the various tools that provide a paraxial and seidel based analysis of a lens system Hints and tips for getting the best out of the user interface

WinLens3D editing your lens data - introduction We will be adding more clips on different subjects as time goes on - for example on optimisation and on some of the engineering tools within WinLens. We then have some clips looking at the Tilt and Decenter features within WinLens3D - what they are and how to setup various systems using them. There follows a number of videos which should be of help to those teaching or learning lens design - where we describe the tools available for simple paraxial & seidel analysis and then discuss some of the graphs and what they mean. We start with a very simple introduction to using WinLens3D. There is a plan behind the sequence, but feel free to view them in any order. The video clips are arranged in a sequence, so that related items are together.

Full 3D setup and analysis capabilities - including prism wizard. Includes MTF calculations, wavefront plots, ghost analysis and interactive glass maps. Used by many universities for teaching optical design. Full optical design package with optimization.Įasy to use, but with serious capabilities - developed for the Qioptiq R&D department.
