Optics tools (5)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • find_compatible_lensesFree

    Given an imager's pixel count and pitch, return lenses whose image circle and resolving power cover the sensor, with per-lens FOV and angular resolution. Supports optional FOV and F/# range filters.

  • get_imager_detailFree

    Get full imager specs PLUS computed sensor geometry (effective width/height/diagonal in mm) and a pre-built lens-wizard URL.

  • recommend_lens_for_imagerFree

    One-shot recommendation: given an imager part number (e.g. 'IMX577'), looks up its geometry, then returns compatible lenses with FOV and angular resolution. Use this when the user names a sensor and wants lens options.

  • search_imagersFree

    Search the Sunex imager (sensor) catalog by part number, manufacturer, or resolution class. Use detail=true with a specific pn for a single-record exact lookup.

  • search_productsFree

    Search the full Sunex product catalog by PN prefix and/or description keyword. Returns sample price, currency, and URLs for spec sheet, sample order, and RFQ.
