Typical Setup

The setup above shows a 7X binocular under test.

The "L" bracket from the accessory kit is used to support the binocular in the photo.

Schematic Representation

OpticStudio hardware works in conjunction with PixelScope software. While no programming is needed, it is necessary to enter the parameters of the setup and the nominal parameters of the lens under test. The picture above shows how these parameters are entered.

Limitations

• The clear aperture of the module should not be larger than the collimator. The standard 200 mm collimator is suitable for lenses with clear aperture up to about 20 mm.
• The setup shown above is suitable for devices which are already in perfect collimation (or can be focused manually).

  Wells Research also supplies collimator tubes with adjustable focus.

• The classical "lens bench" architecture does not lend itself to making off-axis measurements on afocal modules. The simplest strategy is to hold the afocal module stationary, and pivot the collimator and video telescope. This is possible with OpticStudio by using a pair of optional pivot mounts.
