Schneider Introduces APO-Xenoplan 2.0/24mm Lens, Specially Designed for Kodak 4 MP Sensors Having M...( The new Schn...),Health

The new Schneider APO-Xenonplan 2.0/24mm lens is optimized for cameras with sensors sizes up to 1.3 - inch format.

Van Nuys, CA (PRWEB) June 8, 2009 -- Schneider Optics, a worldwide market leader in high-quality lenses for industrial applications, has just introduced the APO-Xenoplan 2.0 24mm lens. This is the third new machine vision lens Schneider has introduced in 2009. The new APO-Xenoplan 2.0/24 lens enables engineers and designers to achieve maximum performance with Kodak 4 MP Microlenses Sensors.

According to well known optic industry expert and Schneider Vice President, Stuart Singer, "To overcome a problem associated with microlens-based sensors, we have created a new lens design form that is near telecentric in image space. With the new Schneider APO-Xenoplan 2.0/24 lens, the angle from light farther and farther from the center of the sensor will strike the microlenses at nearly the same angle and produce equal illumination across the entire sensor. This will eliminate the typical off axis shading of imagery caused by employing conventional C-mount lenses. This new 24mm lens is optimized to cover the 1.3 inch c-mount format (24mm image circle) and can be used on any smaller format which do not contain the micro lenses"

Jim Sullivan, Schneider Optics' Industrial Sales and Marketing Director said, "To further support the full potential of microlens sensor technology, Schneider is now producing lenses -- like the Schneider APO-Xenoplan 2.0/24 lens -- with higher optical performance, lower f-numbers, and significantly tighter manufacturing tolerances. In addition, the Schneider technology support team provides consulting services that can assist engineers and designers, to help ensure that their entry into the amazing new world of microlens sensor technology is economically and technologically successful."
