Typical Case Studies
Case 1
University researcher A wants to design a new non-contact thermometer that measures temperature at different distances from a heat source. Combining a multi-focal lens array and aspheric condenser lens in the software, the resulting optical system can measure temperature with ~0.1ºC accuracy.

Ray tracing of composite lens system
Case 2
Company engineer B wants to design a new microscope objective for a micro-fluidic experiment, that will allow him to measure the velocity of particles moving in three dimensions. The automatically generated geometric lens array allows simultaneous acquisition of images from 6 slicing planes.
