2025 NELSONIAN® AWARDS


Presenting: The NELSONIAN® AWARDS for 2025

INFINITY PHOTO-OPTICAL COMPANY congratulates ALL.

This award—a golden trophy MikroMak™ prime lens—is an accolade for meritorious and innovative use of Infinity’s unique Nelsonian® lens systems: optics which are designed upon microscopical principles, many of which date back to those proposed by Edward Milles Nelson.

Called by many “the English Abbe,” Nelson established criteria—which led future scientists such as F. Zernike to develop phase contrast and other devices—by observing anomalies in Abbe’s diffraction theory, such as “the invisible image.” We now honor his memory.

* There were no Nelsonian Awards issued in 2024.

The Nelsonian Award is issued the year after the imagery was captured.
