Navitar has released its MagniStar telecentric lenses. The line includes six C-mount bi-telecentric lenses with built-in adjustable iris, designed specifically for measurement and inspection applications that require extreme precision.
The first two lenses in the series feature magnifications of 0.128x and 0.528x. Additional lenses with magnifications of 0.05x and 0.243x are due to be released in December and the final two lenses, the 1x and 2x, will be available in February 2014.
Navitar’s new lenses offer high telecentricity, built-in iris, excellent MTF performance, no parallax error, and less than 0.1 per cent image distortion. These lenses are designed to work with camera formats of 2/3-inch and smaller and will support megapixel cameras with 3.5µm pixels. MagniStar lenses are perfect for industrial and electronic parts inspection and other imaging applications where greater depth of field is required.
