Image for optics calibration

optics calibration

Optics calibration is the process of adjusting an optical instrument, like a camera or microscope, to ensure it produces accurate and reliable measurements or images. This involves comparing the instrument’s readings or outputs against known standards or references, then fine-tuning its components—such as lenses, sensors, or alignment—to eliminate errors. Calibration ensures that the optical system’s performance is precise, consistent, and trustworthy over time, which is essential for applications requiring high accuracy, such as scientific research, manufacturing, or medical diagnostics.
