Antireflection coating on lens increases transmission up to 12%
FEBRUARY 17, 2009--Designed for use in machine-vision applications, TECHSPEC compact fixed-focal-length lenses are suited for factory automation, inspection, or qualification. The lenses feature large maximum apertures, so they can be used in restrictive lighting conditions. Each lens includes a broadband antireflection coating, which increases transmission by up to 12% over standard MgF2 coatings. A locking iris and a focus adjustment with recessed set screws prevent unintentional lens adjustments. The lenses are available in focal lengths of 8.5, 12, 16, 25, and 35 mm and support up to 2/3-in. sensors.
