Incommon Solutions To Common Vision Problems Measuring And Imaging Of Small Parts In 3D with Micro-PolyView

Traditionally, where a sample needed to be observed from a number of angles, different perspective views were typically achieved by deploying an array of cameras or by moving the imaging system around the component; both solutions being complex and expensive.

Opto Engineering’s Micro-Polyview lens; however, is capable of cleverly observing and measuring an object from different angles by using an array of mirrors interfaced to a bi-telecentric lens. While keeping the top of the object directly imaged at the centre of the field of view, the lateral views feature exactly the same magnification and the images remain in perfect focus even when the object is displaced.

And the best part is that all views can be used to measure, precisely, the dimensions of components from different angles with only one camera and without moving anything.

But what if my application requires something a little different from standard?

Micro-Polyview lenses are easily customizable and versions can be manufactured with:

** a different number of views

** different mirror inclination angles

** asymmetric or special mirror arrays
