g the popular Schneider locking mechanism. This improves control of grey-scale calibration, F-Stops and a wide magnification range. A unique focus mechanism enables very fine focus adjustment and locking without backlash, and a broad range of filters can be accomodated.

In 2006, during NASA's successful STS-121 mission, the Discovery Space Shuttle utilized a Schneider Xenoplan Compact C-Mount lens on its orbital inspection boom HD camera, to scan the orbiter's exterior for damage while in orbit.
