Navitar releases dual-view system with multiple FOV image capture

June 4, 2012
Navitar's dual-view imaging system allows users to simultaneously view a single subject and capture an image at multiple fields of view (FOVs).

A dual-view imaging system allows users to simultaneously view a single subject and capture an image at multiple fields of view (FOVs). The system has a minimum potential optical magnification range of 0.09X to 6.13X, corresponding to FOVs as large as 120-mm diagonal on a 2/3-in. format sensor down to a 0.65-mm diagonal on a 1/4-in. sensor. Maximum optical magnification using the dual-view system can range from 20X to 583X using a 50X objective lens. It is applicable in processes such as camera sensor inspection, laser beam monitoring, and thin-film transistor repair, among others.

Navitar Introduces Versatile Dual View Imaging System

Rochester, New York – Navitar, Inc., a global leader in optical technology, has introduced a versatile dual view imaging system, allowing customers to simultaneously view a single subject and capture an image at multiple fields of view (FOV).

For situations requiring multiple fields of view, Navitar’s dual view module offers, with just one setup, a single objective lens presented to two separate imaging channels. The channels can be fixed, zoom, or a combination of both. Two separate light sources and wavelengths can be used, allowing inspection of multiple types of materials. The use of different adapter tubes on each optical path provides a wider FOV than a traditional single view system, without the hassles of changing workstations or lighting setups.

The dual view system has a minimum potential optical magnification range of 0.09X to 6.13X, which corresponds to FOVs as large as 120mm diagonal on a 2/3” format sensor down to a 0.65mm diagonal on a 1/4” sensor. Maximum optical magnification using the dual view system can range from 20X to 583X using a 50X objective.

Navitar’s dual view system consists of: - Combination of Fixed 1X Tube lens, Precise Eye, Zoom 6000, or 12X Zoom - Dual View fold block - LED and adjustable LED light sources - Adapter tubes

Don Ehinger, Vice President of Sales at Navitar, comments, “The dual view system is a unique mechanical system that lets our customers capture an image and present it to two different sensors. This allows for a variety of options when viewing samples. Customers have used the dual view system in applications such as camera sensor inspection, laser beam monitoring, and thin film transistor repair.”
