New opportunities in vision and optronics

Recent technological developments in vision and imaging will increase the potential for application of optical principles in precision measurement and decision support. This ‘vision’ had led Dutch engineering company MECAL to extend its portfolio with engineering services and product development support in vision and optronics technology. It now includes automated visual inspections in combination with automated recognition and decision processes, inspections on micron and nanometer level, and development and small-scale production of diagnostic systems. The Cornea Topographer case may serve as an example.
