Inkscape Ray Tracing – an extension for Inkscape to draw optical diagrams

• Astree

  4 73 1.9 C++

  Astree is a free open source optical ray tracing and design software

> Could this be used as a simple lens designer? Or are there better programs for than?

Take a look on Astree[0] (an amateur telescope making FLOSS app to help with optical design and optimisation) and on Foucault2[1] (an amateur telescope making FLOSS app to help with mirror design and polishing).

Astree in most cases is enough alternative to proprietary Zemax (+ Astree already support ZMX file format).[2]

I've played around a bit with that myself, modelling a Voigtländer Color-Skopar.

• UC2-GIT

  6 401 0.0 Jupyter Notebook

  Respository for Open-Science modular microscope system.

  

I'm playing with UC2 (https://github.com/bionanoimaging/UC2-GIT) and one of the projects is to build a KI scope (https://github.com/bionanoimaging/UC2-GIT/tree/master/TheBOX...) leading up to abbe experiment.

I mainly want to be able to plug in different objective lens strengths and experiment with the overall system geometry.
