The Knowledge Base is a collection of application notes, how-to articles and short notes aimed at helping ZEMAX users make the most of their investment in ZEMAX.

It is complementary to, and not a replacement for, the User's Guide that comes with ZEMAX. The User's Guide is the definitive reference for how to use any feature of ZEMAX. This knowledge base aims to discuss more generally how to achieve optical design goals and answers commonly asked questions.

The Users' Guide is automatically included when you download either the full or demonstration versions of ZEMAX from our downloads page.
