Working with the Israeli Antiquities Authority, Dr. Greg Bearman (www.snapshotspectra.com) has used the CoastalOpt® UV-VIS-IR 60 mm lens for imaging of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

 The work, performed in August, is part of a technology qualification for digitizing the scrolls. High resolution visible and IR images will allow for precise detection of deterioration and allow researchers worldwide to view the Scrolls electronically.

Come see the new CoastalOpt® 60mm UV-VIS-IR 1:4 Apo Macro lens at Photokina 2008 September 23-28.

Visit us under the bright lights in Köln, Germany. Coastal is exhibiting the lens with sister company Sinar in Hall 4.2 Exhibit C021.

Jupiter, FL – Coastal Optical Systems Inc. is pleased to introduce the new CoastalOpt® 60mm UV-VIS-IR 1:4 Apo Macro lens.

A first in optical design, the 60mm UV-VIS-IR 1:4 Apo Macro provides full apochromatic correction over an extraordinarily broad waveband ranging from the onset of atmospheric ultraviolet transparency at 315nm to the limit of CCD/CMOS sensitivity at 1100nm in the infrared.

Jay Kumler, Coastal Optical Systems, will present "Measuring surface slope error on precision aspheres" at

Coastal Optical Systems will exhibit in booth 918 alongside sister companies and Jenoptik subsidiaries, Liebmann Optical and MEMS Optical.

West Palm Beach, FL (April 16, 2007) – Coastal Optical Systems has completed installation of an enabling technology for precision asphere testing and manufacture. QED Technologies’ SSI-A™ Interferometer greatly increases accuracy and maximum full aperture that can be tested while reducing lead-time and non-recurring costs previously associated with interferometric testing of aspheres.

JENOPTIK, Coastal's parent, was featured April 13th in a New York Times article on the strong German economy.

 

Germany’s Export-Led Economy Finds Global Niche

JENA, Germany — For those seeking the elixir that has given new life to Germany’s economy, a visit to this ancient university town in the eastern part of the country would be a good place to start.

Jena is booming these days, as local companies like Jenoptik, which makes lasers and sensors, rack up orders from China, Russia, Europe and the United States. Even the surging euro, which is near record levels against the dollar and the yen — making German exports more expensive in many foreign markets has not yet dented demand.
