Request InfoEdmund Optics Inc.BARRINGTON, N.J., Sept. 23, 2014 &mdah; Silver Series telecentric measuring lenses from Edmund Optics are now available in 0.5×, 0.75× and 2.0× primary magnifications with in-line illumination. The lenses are optimized for both on-line and off-line machine vision production environments that require accurate measurements. They correct perspective errors that yield magnification variations through the depth of field. The lenses feature high light throughput (f/6), a simplified non-focusing mechanical design and an adjustable iris control. They are suited for the inspection of specular and semi-specular...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 7/26/2022Optical MountsThe E-Series of Adjustable Size Kinematic Optical Mounts from Edmund Optics Inc. can be used for mounting a wide range of round, rectangular, and square optical components, including round and...Photonics Spectra December 2022 IssueAutomotive Lens TesterThe Thermal Module TM-1150 from Optikos Corp. tests lenses up to 150 mm for automotive applications.
