The Application Programming Interface (API) is a powerful tool that can enhance, automate, and expand the capabilities of Zemax OpticStudio. While object-oriented coding for APIs can be frightening, it doesn’t have to be!

During this webinar, David provides you with the basics needed to start using the API with confidence. He will walk through the necessary structure of the code, and how to make it work for your projects by simply copying, pasting, and modifying a few parameters. David will also demonstrate the power of the API by presenting a custom analysis that he has used to evaluate optical systems for their use in the life sciences, specifically multi-photon microscopy.

Speaker: 

David Vega is currently working at the University of Arizona James Wyant Optical Sciences College, where he graduated with a Master of Science degree in optics. He is an NSF-GRFP scholar and has been awarded several grants and recognitions for his work in optics. David's expertise lies in the boundary between optical and biomedical engineering. He uses this expertise to transfer innovative optical technologies from the optical bench to medical equipment that can assist the physicians in improving cancer screening and diagnosing. David is also the funder and part of the leadership group of the Optical Design Group that provides optical design services and workshops to researchers.
