Equipment Performance

An distortion aberration free optical system forms an orthoscopic image mean that is similar to original object, undeformed. Naturally imply that most optical systems are designed so that the image distortion is minimal, not to cause inconvenience to the user about either the object appearance – when it comes to a camera or camcorder, or the deformities that may cause measurement errors – when it comes to optical measurement and control equipment. However there are situations when distortion is desired to improve some performances of the observation optical system. In this article we present how distortion is used to increase the field of view, and also how distortion is used to optimize the field of view – resolution compromise.

The presence of benzene and similar aromatic compounds in civil environments is due to anthropic actions but also to natural sources. Natural gas consists of a gas mixture where benzene and related compounds are usually presents. Thus, the detection of these compounds in natural gas pipelines is of the utmost importance as well as the control of the concentration level, which must remain below the limits consented by law. In this regard, it is of striking interest to engineer devices able to detect these compounds by automatic and continuous remote control. Here, we discuss the application of an optical device designed for the measurement of sulfured odorizing agents in natural gas pipelines aiming at the detection and the measurement of benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) in the same contexts. The instrument consists of a customized UV spectrophotometer connected to an automatic control system able to provide in-field detections of BTX through a continuous and remote check of the gaseous mixture. Relatively to benzene, the instrument is characterized by values of LOD (level of detection) and LOQ (level of quantification) equal to 0.55 and 1.84 mg/Sm3, respectively. Similar limits are found for toluene and xylenes (LOD of 0.81, 1.05, 1.41, and 1.00 mg/Sm3 for toluene, meta-, ortho-, and para-xylene, respectively).
