Passive athermalization is used in these lenses to achieve optothermal stability from -10 °C to +50 °C. This reduces effects due to thermal defocusing in applications with temperature fluctuations, such as when using the lenses in aerospace systems. It also ensures high resolutions over a wide temperature range. The lenses feature slimmer housings and optical elements that have been fixed with adhesive to avoid potential damage and pixel shift due to shock and vibration.
