Resolve Optics has introduced the Model 357 - the first High Definition (HD) non browning zoom lens for 1/3-inch format cameras and sensors.

The Model 357 provides users operating in environments subject to radiation true HD quality images over an unrivalled 10x zoom range.

As the nuclear industry strives to develop better solid state colour CMOS sensors that can withstand higher levels of radiation it has created a demand for high performance radiation resistant lenses able to help fulfil the potential of these sensors.  

Using specialist non browning glasses the Model 357 is able to produce clear sharp images free of the strong yellow tint that has traditionally been a limiting issue when using radiation resistant lenses on colour sensors.

The Model 357 HD 10x zoom lens has been designed to operate in environments subject to high level radiation, such as nuclear fuel handling, reactor active zones and nuclear waste storage plants. The specialist non browing glass used in the Model 357 is proven to withstand long-term exposure to radiation up to a dose of 100,000,000 radians and temperatures to 55 °C without discoloration.

Operating at f/2, the Model 357 provides high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 770 nm, and can image objects from 800 mm to infinity without using add-on adapters. When focused at infinity, the lens achieves high image resolution on axis at full aperture throughout the zoom range without refocusing.
