Optical Alignment Procedure Is As Important As The Optical Design
The alignment procedure of an optical system could be the make-or-break for the design and the system’s existence in general. In this post we uncover the ins and outs of the optical alignment processes

What Paved the Way to Fix the Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope is in orbit, we already know what the problem is – now let’s fix it. In this third and final post in this series we explore the system engineering point of view of the HST’s spherical aberration correction

What Went Wrong with the Hubble Space Telescope Initially
In this second post out of 3 post series we explore what led to the Hubble Space Telescope resolution drop and what engineering lessons we can all learn from this case

The Original Design of the Hubble Space Telescope
The story of the Hubble Space Telescope is a very interesting one. An amazing project that provided deep-space images for over 30 years but not without its issues and challenges. In this first out of three posts we explore the initial requirements and design of the telescope

How To Image Moving Objects – Final Comparison
We have 3 sensor technology candidates – global shutter, rolling shutter and EVB. This is the third post in How to Image Moving Objects post series where we compare these 3 technologies imaging the very same target with the same conditions

Gaining the Most from Sensitivity and Tolerance Analysis
We are not prophets! At one point or another in the design process we must assess if the system is going to perform as we wanted it to. In this post we explore one very important tool for this task – the Tolerance Analysis

Color Balancing – Making The Best Out Of Spectral Content Mismatch
Eventually, in visible color imaging we want the best image with the most vivid colors. In this post we do the final color balancing, having all the previous episodes’ methods into practice

White Balance and How To Address Light Spectral Content
Illumination sources differ in their spectral content. We explore in this post how we measure it, how it impacts our raw image and how white balance is one way to deal with its effects
