Resolve Optics: Motorized version of radiation tolerant zoom lens debuts

August 4, 2023

Resolve Optics has launched a new 2/3-inch format, motorized version of the firm’s popular Model 357 radiation tolerant zoom lens.

Purpose designed for use with color 2/3 inch tube and CMOS cameras in high radiation environments, the Model 357-004 provides true, HD quality images over an unrivaled 10x (12-120mm) zoom range.

Operating at f/3.6, the Model 357-004 zoom lens provides high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 770 nm. and can image objects from 1300 mm. to infinity. The 357-004 is a tracking zoom lens, meaning that once it has been set up, it will maintain focus throughout the entire zoom range.

“The Model 357-004 was developed to provide better HD color images for the nuclear industry. Offering full motorized control of zoom, iris and focusing this robust lens is easily integrated with most radiation tolerant cameras and sensors. The Model 357-004 zoom lens uses specialised non browning glasses to produce clear sharp images free of the strong yellow tint that has traditionally been a limiting issue when using radiation tolerant lenses on color sensors. The glass used in these lenses can withstand long-term exposure to radiation up to an accumulative dose of one hundred million RAD and temperatures up to 85°C without loss of transmission.” — Rob Watkinson, Customer Support Manager, Resolve Optics
