Request InfoEdmund Optics Inc.Edmund Optics Inc. has designed and manufactured large-format lenses for use in line- and area-scan cameras. They are compatible with 12k-pixel cameras and produce space resolution of up to 100 line pairs per millimeter. The low-distortion lenses can accommodate 5-µm pixel sizes and sensors measuring up to 90 mm. The company says that, at a maximum aperture of f/4, the lenses provide twice the amount of light throughput that comparable lenses do. Nominal values of 1.4× and 0.7× are available. The 64-mm-diameter lens cell includes locking, a variable iris and an M52 × 0.75-mm front filter...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra December 2022 IssueNonpolarizing Cube BeamsplittersThe TECHSPEC® Nonpolarizing Cube Beamsplitters from Edmund Optics Inc. have a 50/50 reflection/transmission ratio and are constructed from high-tolerance N-BK7 right angle prisms.
