Extreme wideangle for airstream tests

IB/E optics was tasked by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to further develop the pressure measuring system for wind tunnel models.
With UV-lighting and IB/E optics’ special varnish (Pressure Sensitive Paint PSP) evinces different intensities according to the pressure ratio applied. With a specifically designed ultra-wide angle lens IB/E optics is not only able to detect but also to record varying intensities.
