A basic understanding of wavelength and imaging Wavelength is the distance traveled by two waves with the same vibration state at a fixed point in a wave phenomenon, usually represented by λ, with units such as nanometers (nm) or micrometers (μm). In optics, wavelength specifically refers to the length of light waves. It is an

Introduction With the automobile industry’s rapid development, wheel hubs’ output is growing continuously. As the supporting component of the automobile, the wheel hub carries the weight and all loads of the vehicle and therefore is an important guarantee for vehicle safety. Its quality is closely related to driving safety. The valve port can prevent air

What is imaging quality? Imaging quality pertains to the sharpness, level of detail, and reproduction of a visual image. Its evaluation usually depends on multiple factors, including resolution, contrast, color reproduction, and distortion. Imaging quality reflects the ability of the optical system to capture and reproduce scene details, which significantly impacts user experience and application

What is an achromatic design? Chromatic aberration refers to the phenomenon where different wavelengths of light passing through the lens produce different refractive indices and dispersion during the imaging process, resulting in color distortion at the edges of the image. This phenomenon will reduce the clarity and color reproduction accuracy of the image, affecting the
