MC3-03X is a multi-configuration macro lens suitable for the inspection of objects whose size varies from a 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 for machine vision applications requiring flexibility. Since the working F-number increases with 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-number in such a way that resolution and distortion are always optimized.

Notes

Working distance: distance between the front end of the mechanics and the object. Set this distance within +/- 3% of the nominal value for maximum resolution and minimum distortion.
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 fo r measurement but, to get a perfectly sharp image, only half of the nominal field d epth should be considered. Pixel size used for calculation is 3.45 μm.
