Wavefront cameras

Wavefront cameras are advanced imaging devices that capture information about light waves, allowing for detailed analysis of optical systems. Unlike traditional cameras that focus on creating clear images, wavefront cameras measure the shape and quality of light waves coming from objects. This technology is used in various fields like astronomy, vision science, and optical engineering to assess and correct distortions in images. By understanding how light behaves, researchers can improve lenses and optical systems, ultimately enhancing image quality and clarity in devices such as telescopes and corrective eyewear.
