2022 NELSONIAN® AWARDS


Presenting: The NELSONIAN® AWARDS for 2022

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.

* Usual issuance of the 2022 Nelsonians® was unavoidably delayed. We are happy to announce the 2022 Nelsonian Award winners below.
