MC3-03X macro

Zero distortion multi-configuration macro lens

Catalog 2019

Addendum 2018

MC3-03X is a multi-configuration macro lens suitable for the inspection of object sizes ranging from few millimeters to some centimeters.
Magnification and focus can be tuned by adjusting a lockable rotating knob. The lens magnification range can be selected by means of a set of extension tubes, included in the product package; this feature makes this component ideal for prototyping purposes and machine vision applications requiring flexibility.

Since the working F/# increases with the magnification, the optimum combination of field depth, image resolution and brightness is maintained in any lens configuration. Moreover, the optical distortion approaches zero at any magnification making this lens perfectly suitable for measurement applications.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Wide range of magnifications
MC3-03X is suitable for the inspection of many different object sizes with different detector options.
Nearly zero distortion
Less than 0.05% distortion, at any magnification, makes this lens a perfect choice for measurement applications.
Perfect optical parameters mix
Changing the magnification also changes the lens working F/# in such a way that resolution and distortion remain properly combined.

Notes

F/# = F-number, wF/# = working F-number, the real F-number of a lens when used as a macro.
At the borders of the field depth the image can be still used for measurement but, to get a very sharp image, only half of the nominal field depth should be considered.
Pixel size used for calculation is 3.45 µm
