On a 1/1.8-inch sensor, it achieves 116° horizontally at 5 megapixel resolution (200 lp/mm). It is optically corrected for visible and NIR wavelengths, enabling multispectral imaging. With this large field of view and low distortion, the MY23F is the widest, ultra-low distortion lens for 1/1.8-inch sensors on the market.
Theia's Linear Optical Technology optically corrects barrel distortion by creating a rectilinear lens. This ensures that straight lines in the object remain straight in the image. With a rectilinear lens, there is also no distortion or compression at the edges, so the resolution at the edge of the image is higher than with traditionally designed wide-angle lenses.
Until now, Linear Optical Technology was only available for image sensors up to 1/2.3 inch. With the new lens, this technology can now be used with larger sensors, which are known for their larger pixels, higher light sensitivity and wider dynamic range.
The 5 MP lens is optically corrected for focus from 440 to 940 nm and has only 20 microns of focus shift between visible and NIR wavelengths, maintaining sharp focus. This enables multispectral or hyperspectral imaging and analysis.
