Winlens 3D Features
System
- handles systems with rotational or cylindrical symmetry as well as folded systems
- component oriented - singlets, doublets, air-spaced doublets, triplets, blocks, mirrors, prims and wedge plates
- system can have unlimited components in multiple zooms (RAM limited)
- thin lens layout for pre-designs and starting systems
- each zoom can have different conjugates, field and aperture sizes and wavebands
- import/export to/from files in other formats
Lens database

- special user defined glasses
- models melt glasses - only needs melt index at two wavelengths!
- allows for user selection of materials in object/image space and between components
Active Glass Map
- Highlight glasses used in the current system
- Update system glass by simple click on map
- Show/hide glass names and other options
- Select display variables for X & Y axes
- Colour code the glasses with another property (e.g. density or transmission)
- Display subset of the glasses (powerful search)
- Find single named glass
- Zoom into the glass map
- Logs of axis definitions, colour codes & searches
- Generate high resolution printout

- editors for custom components (with tool fitting)
- pickup definitions (component, surface, space, seperations etc.), scaling and chains allowed
- sliders for quick changes to system parameters and simple optimisation
- drag and drop LINOS components and materials
- solves and tools to scale and reverse system or parts of system
