Nagata-san says
I have been designing lens for 24 years. Ever since I met ZEMAX 14 years ago, I have been the biggest fan of ZEMAX. ZEMAX is the greatest software that can design lens, illumination, laser beam propagation, stray light and many other applications in just one package! Let's explore the world of "light" by using ZEMAX.
TEM’s comment:
