Design of a Zoom Objective for Hand Held Thermal Imager (HHTI):

A continuous Zoom Objective with a zoom ratio of 1:3 was designed for HHTI. The existing objective is a stepped zoom with flip-in, flip-up mechanism.

Experience Details:

Project 1 : Fotorite System

Organization : Speck Systems Limited.

Description : Fotorite generates very high resolution outputs of 40”x40” in size. Its unique feature is its capability to directly write on photographic media and transparencies both in black & white and color, in continuous tone. These outputs facilitate image interpretation through conventional and zoom opto-electronic devices for developmental and strategic applications.

Role :

Designed the scanning optics to prove the concept of External Drum technology & Internal Drum Technology

Developed the scanning optics for different sources like Arc Lamp, Lasers & LEDs

Analyzed and rectified the problems while working to prove the concept.

Modified and simplified the design concept in scanning optics

Designed an optical systems are:

Focusing Optics

Collimating Optics

Coupling Optics

Project 2 : Stereo Zoom Microscope for Aerial Photos

Organization : Speck Systems Limited

Description : The zoom stereoscope, as the name implies, allows the viewer to magnify, or zoom in, on areas of interest and also get depth perception, so that photo interpreters can efficiently analyze the images in greater detail.

Role :

Analyzed zoom stereoscope equipment

Modified the designing of zoom stereoscope for customer friendly
