Cooperation of ZEISS with the Graduate School of Optics and Photonics in Karlsru...
Did you know that the Karlsruhe School of Photonics (KSOP) offers an innovative program of masters and doctorate courses? In conjunction with ZEISS, the school provides students with the possibility of gaining insights into practice. Read the interview with Javier to find out more about the interchange between theory and practice.
• Can you tell me who you are and where you are from?
Javier: I was born in Colombia. I am an electrical engineer and I obtained my bachelor degree in Colombia. That same year, I moved to Argentina to work as an engineer. Then, looking for career advancement, I decided to apply for a place on a Master’s program. A fellow student from my electrical engineering degree recommended KSOP. She had been in KSOP and graduated from the program a year before. So I decided to apply and now here I am in my last semester writing my thesis at ZEISS.
• Could you tell us a bit about your work at ZEISS and the topic of your Master’s thesis?
Javier: I am working in Industrial Metrology, where I am involved in the integration of a new concept sensor on a high-precision coordinate measurement machine. My main task is to enable the pose calibration of the sensor, and to carry out evaluations and modifications.
• How do you like Oberkochen?
Javier: If we compare sizes and lifestyles, coming from Colombia or Argentina to Oberkochen is a big leap and a challenge. I really like my work and am enjoying the time in Oberkochen and Aalen. There are a lot of activities to do. For example, I’ve already gotten involved in the “Aktiv Mann” soccer team TSV-Oberkochen-Könnigsbronn, and that helps me to come into contact with people. Plus, I’m a new member of the ZEISS International Club. For my first month, I think it’s a really good start.
• What do you like most about the KSOP Master’s Program and what part of your studies best prepares you for your career?
Javier: I really like the internationality of the program. The fact of having colleagues from so many different science and/or engineering backgrounds and having the opportunity to work with them and learn how they approach finding solutions enhances my expertise all the time. Also, meeting people from all over the world gives you a better perspective, as well as tolerance and enrichment in your personal growth.
• What do you like most about your job at ZEISS?
Javier: I really like to work in my department as there are a lot of open-minded people who are willing to teach me. Of course, I am still at the learning stage. Working for ZEISS in Industrial Metrology gives me the opportunity to work with experienced colleagues and increase my knowledge.
• What are your future plans?
Javier: I’ll finish my thesis in November and because of my industrial and engineering background, I will go more in this direction. A specific field is not clear as yet, but I like challenges and I am eager to learn more.

(SR4) First specs of the curved sensor 2/3 inch sensor camera with 20mm f/1.2 lens!
A couple of weeks I told you how Sony developed a 2/3 inch and a Full Frame curved sensor. Both are ready for production. We now got our hands on the specs of the 2/3 inch sensor camera that Sony will launch soon at Photokina. It will be the worlds first curved sensor camera!
The 22 Megapixel curved sensor has a dynamic range of 10.8 stop at ISO 640, SNR of 41.1DB at ISO 400 and the astonishing 20mm (FF equivalent) f/1.2 G lens is only 6mm thick! This could be the smallest and highest quality compact camera ever made. The 2/3 inch curved sensor has the same signal to ratio of the Canon 5dMarkIII !!!
The chances stay very high that Sony will also launch a Full Frame curved sensor camera with a damn compact Zeiss 35mm f/1.8 lens. Will this be the first Full Frame camera that fits in your pocket???
Here are the lens specs of the 2/3 inch camera:
