recommend_lens_for_imagerLABSCO SUMMARY
Lens selection answered in one call.
Give it the sensor and it returns lenses that actually cover it, with the field of view you would otherwise compute by hand. It is Sunex's own catalogue, so it answers for Sunex parts.
What it is
A read-only search over Sunex's lens and imager catalogue, hosted at a public endpoint. It answers in optics terms: compatibility, field of view, image circle, sensor geometry.
What you get
- Compatible lenses for an imager part number, with field of view and angular resolution
- Sensors found by part number, manufacturer or resolution class
- Full sensor specs plus computed width, height and diagonal in mm
- Lenses whose image circle covers a sensor you describe by pixel count and pitch
- Catalogue search by part number or keyword, with sample pricing and RFQ links
Requirements
Nothing to install and no key — a hosted endpoint you add to your client over Streamable HTTP, read-only. A legacy SSE endpoint is kept for older clients.
Setup effort
Add the hosted endpoint — paste it into your client
USE CASES
01
Choosing a lens for a sensor you have already picked
One call from imager part number to compatible lenses, with FOV and angular resolution attached to each.
02
Working from sensor geometry rather than a part number
Pixel count and pitch are enough to get back the lenses whose image circle covers the sensor.
03
Checking a sensor's real dimensions
Width, height and diagonal in mm are computed for you, which is the number the optics calculation actually needs.
04
Finding parts within a budget
Catalogue search returns sample pricing and RFQ links alongside the part, so cost enters the decision early.
05
Identifying a sensor from a vague description
Search by manufacturer or resolution class when all you have is roughly what it is, then read the full spec.
