Greetings!

This is "The Year of Focus" for instrument designers! We've seen huge demand for small, precise optical focus systems in everything from biometric scanners to medical diagnostic devices. Not to mention smart phones.

Wondering what smart phones have to do with it? Check out the webcast below, or stop in to see us in Baltimore (at DS&S next week) or Bremen (at Actuator 2102 in June).

~ Micro motion for optical instruments
          ... inspired by your smart phone

Webcast topics include: 

  • Image sensor market trends: growth in non-consumer applications
  • Technologies used in phone camera focus, including piezo motors, position sensors and drive ASICs  
  • How to apply focus technologies developed for phone cameras in non-consumer applications
  • Five key parameters to consider in choosing or designing a focus system  
  • Elements of a "smart system" for focus
.


New Scale founder and CEO/CTO David Henderson discusses how the latest technology for smart phone cameras is enabling smaller, more precise products for non-consumer imaging applications.

 

"Most of us carry around in our pockets a smart phone that represents some really incredible technology in miniaturization," Henderson said. "The latest smart phone cameras are almost as good as what you can buy as a separate point-and-shoot camera. Now, the technology developed for smart phone cameras is enabling a whole new generation of non-consumer imaging products."
