Summary:
  C: Virtual lens/mirror design workshop
Description:
  C: |-
    <p>OpticalRayTracer is an application that analyzes systems of lenses and mirrors. It uses optical principles
    and a virtual optical bench to predict the behavior of many kinds of ordinary and exotic lens types as
    well as flat and curved mirrors. OpticalRayTracer includes an advanced, easy-to-use interface that allows
    the user to rearrange the optical configuration by dragging objects around using the mouse. OpticalRayTracer
    fully analyzes lens optical properties, including refraction and dispersion. The dispersion display uses
    color-coded light beams to simplify interpretation of the results. OpticalRayTracer allows the creation
    of mirrors, flat and curved. In modern optical designs, mirrors often produce better results than lenses,
    for example in astronomical instruments. Such instruments can be roughed out in OpticalRayTracer&apos;s
    virtual workbench.</p>
