Navitar’s dual view system was initially developed for the thin film transistor (TFT) repair industry and has also been used for applications requiring a wide field of view range.
The dual view module offers the ultimate in adaptability and versatility; the system has a single objective lens and presents it to two separate imaging channels. These channels can be fixed, zoom, or a combination of the two. Two different light sources and wavelengths allow for the inspection of multiple types of materials. The use of different adapter tubes on each optical path provides a much wider field of view, without changing workstations or lighting setups.

Navitar’s new line of MagniStar high resolution bi-telecentric lenses offer the ideal optical solution for imaging and measurement applications where extreme accuracy is required. Magnifications range from 0.05X to 2X. Features include:

The use of a range extender, installed between a lens and a camera, will extend the focal length and increase the effective aperture (F/number) of a video lens. For example, using the 2XE range extender will extend the focal length by two times (2X) which allows you to turn standard fixed focal length lenses into macro lenses. This kit includes six extender tubes (0.5 mm, 1 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm and 40 mm) for extension from 0.5 mm to 76.5 mm. The tube(s) mount between the camera and the lens, making it possible for you to focus a C-mount lens at a much closer distance than normal.
