CP12690_TINA2-M Datasheet/PDFTrue Image Non-asymmetrical Achromats (TINA2-M) are a special type of achromat used in optical applications. They are designed to provide unique features that are not found in the more common symmetric achromats. TINA2-M achromats are used to reduce aberrations and improve the apparent performance of optical systems.
TINA2-M achromat applications include photographic lenses, projection lenses, telescope objectives, laser cavities, and any other application where the improved performance of an achromat is needed. The improved performance of a TINA2-M achromat can make a significant difference in the quality of an image or the performance of a system.
TINA2-M achromats are produced from two optical elements, typically one or two curved surfaces. Each element is designed to reduce aberrations in specific portions of the spectrum, such as eliminating chromatic aberrations or reducing astigmatism. The combination of the two optical elements creates a single optical element with reduced aberrations and improved image quality.
The working principle of a TINA2-M achromat is based on the fact that when light passes through an optical element, it is refracted or bent in different directions depending on the wavelength of the light. By combining two optical elements, one designed to refract longer wavelengths and the other designed to refract shorter wavelengths, the combination produces a single optical element with less chromatic aberration. The result is a more evenly dispersed, higher quality image.
TINA2-M achromats are commonly used in applications that require high resolution, such as microscopes, where chromatic aberrations can be quite damaging. They are also used in applications where precise imaging is required such as military optics, where they can greatly reduce image distortion. Finally, TINA2-M achromats are used in any application where extreme image quality is required.
In summary, TINA2-M achromats are used in a wide variety of optical applications to reduce aberrations and improve performance. Their working principle is based on the refraction of light through optical elements, and the combination of two different elements reduces chromatic aberrations while maintaining excellent image quality. TINA2-M achromats are used in applications such as microscopes, military optics, and any other application where high resolution and precision are needed.
