What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills to design and analyse compact imaging systems confidently. Master thin-lens equations, magnification, ray tracing, and sign conventions, then use them for multi-lens arrangements, folded optics, and tolerance analysis. Excel in handling aberrations, alignment, depth of field, and precise documentation to ensure your optical designs remain sharp, efficient, and thoroughly recorded.
