“Something to do with optics”—it’s not always easy to help our young people understand the field of optics. That’s why SwissOptic, a company within the Jenoptik Group, turned to its own apprentices for help. As part of a project, the apprentices built a laser maze to introduce the fascinating world of optics in a playful way.
The challenge for visitors to the LNDW Jena is to guide a laser beam through the mirror maze. The individual mirrors must be adjusted so that the laser beam is deflected correctly and reaches the specified target. The various difficulty levels offer an entertaining adventure for young and old alike.
Crystal-clear images for a family photo or the next Hollywood blockbuster: None of this is possible without precision and the right lens. But how do we know if a lens is working perfectly?
The trainees at TRIOPTICS, another company in the Jenoptik Group, use a specially built device to demonstrate how lenses are tested and explain why a focal point is essential for this process.
