Geometric optics raytracing in python for education and small-project design. This is a simple, alpha-quality project with no current plans for future development.

- Ray tracing with a small library of optical parts (lenses, mirrors, prism)
- Catalog of Shott and other common glasses for dispersion modeling
- GUI for interactively placing optics and visualizing raytracing output
The quickest way to learn what's in here is to read and/or run the examples:
dispersion.py: a prism separating white light into rainbowmirror.py: simple combination of mirrors reflecting parallel rays2p_telescope.py: test of wavelength-dependence of focal point in a laser-scanning microscopy setup2p_telescope2.py: animated simulation of laser scanning microscopy setup
Use the mouse to pan/zoom around the models.
