|---|---|
recommend_lens_for_imager |
Give it an imager PN → compatible lenses with FOV and angular resolution. One shot. |
search_imagers |
Find sensors by PN, manufacturer, or resolution class. |
get_imager_detail |
Full sensor specs plus computed geometry (width / height / diagonal in mm). |
find_compatible_lenses |
Given pixel count + pitch, return lenses whose image circle covers the sensor. |
search_products |
Full catalog search by PN or keyword, with sample pricing and RFQ links. |
Example prompts
- "Recommend a wide-angle lens for the Sony IMX577 with F/2.0 or faster."
- "I need fisheye lenses under $100."
- "What's the diagonal of the IMX477 in mm?"
- "Find lenses for a 1920×1080 sensor with 3µm pixels, 100–180° HFOV."
