The June Edition of the Zemax Community Newsletter is Available Now!

Our Zemax Community is a gathering place for all things optics. Within this community, you will be able to learn more about your Zemax products and chat with other industry professionals about the latest trends.
The monthly Community Newsletter provides updates on items you might find interesting or helpful from the last month! In each edition, we call out forum posts you may have missed, new Knowledgebase articles, and honor a Zemax user who has made a contribution to their peers. Here are a couple highlights from the June edition:
Featured Community Post: Tools for Visualizing Your System
This month we have selected forum posts that present ideas or macros to improve visualization. It can be visualizing the entrance pupil on a layout, seeing the propagation of a gaussian beam through an optical system or plotting the MTF in object space. Feel free to reply on these posts if you have some suggestions or feedback! Find some posts on the topic in this month's newsletter.
