Request InfoCarl Zeiss AG, Camera LensesOBERKOCHEN, Germany, July 8, 2016 — Carl Zeiss AG has announced three new industrial lenses for large image sensors. The Interlock 2.8/21, 2/50 and 2/100 smacro lenses have high image quality and precise manual focus with heavy-duty fixtures for focus and aperture. They feature an image circle measuring 43 mm, suitable for line sensors of up to 43 mm or for area scan sensors of up to 24 × 36 mm. The lenses are available with either an F-mount or an M42x1 mount, replacing the Distagon T 2.8/21, the Makro-Planar T 2/50 and the Makro-Planar T 2/100 for industrial applications.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 5/2/2024Measurement Vision SystemThe Baty Venture FV Series from Bowers Group are vision systems for measurement and inspection applications.
