AUGUST 24--Lenses play a critical role in developing every machine-vision system. Without the correct choice of lens, the resolution, measurement capability, and throughput of a system can be drastically compromised. Many factors must be taken into account when deciding which lens to choose for a specific application.
Lenses: Focusing on Fact & Fiction, a Webcast to be broadcast at 11AM EDT-US on August 29 by Vision Systems Design (Nashua, NH, USA; www.vision-systems.com), will address the challenges of choosing the correct lens. Presenter David Berg of Oren Sage Technology, an optical system engineering consultant with more than 20 years experience in machine vision and optical metrology, will offer an overview of the many commercial machine-vision lenses available and will discuss lens specifications and what they mean to developers of machine-vision and image-processing systems. Numerous case studies will highlight the application of standard off-the-shelf and custom lenses in typical machine-vision systems.
