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.com 8/31/2022Antireflection Laser WindowsTECHSPEC® Dual-Band Antireflection (AR) Laser Windows from Edmund Optics Inc. feature <0.25% reflection at 532 nm and <0.1% reflection at 1064 nm for high laser throughput. ...Photonics Spectra November 2022 IssueLaser Line MirrorsTECHSPEC® Dual Band Laser Line Mirrors from Edmund Optics Inc. offer 99% reflectivity at both IR and visible wavelengths.
