Telecentricity Definition

A telecentric optics lens is a kind of lens that the chief rays are parallel to the optical axis. There are three kinds of telecentric lens, that is the object-space telecentric lens, image-space telecentric lens, and the bi-telecentric lens. Telecentric laser lens is always the core business of Canrill Lens. After continuous research and development for 11 years, Canrill has successfully developed 1700+ kinds of lenses, and the number is still increasing, to meet the diverse and growing applications at the best machine vision telecentric lens price.

Telecentric Lens Tutorial

What is a Telecentric Lens?

The machine vision telecentric lens design is mainly to correct traditional industrial lens parallax. Within a certain range, a telecentric lens for machine vision can make the image magnification of the image does not change. Currently, due to its unique parallel optical path design, the telecentric lens has been widely favored by machine vision applications that are highly required for lens distortion.

What's The Difference Between Resolution & Mtf30 For The Telecentric Lens?

Resolution and MTF have a different definition method.

Resolution formula is R=0.61*λ/NA. R is object resolution and λ is wavelength, which is usually 0.55um. NA is the numerical aperture of the object side of the lens.

For example, XF-MT1X65D, the NA is 0.045, thus the resolution is 0.61*0.55/0.045≈7.45um. ( the resolution in our product list and drawings is 7.33um, is because decimal point numbers )

Therefore the corresponding line pairs should be 1000/(7.33*2)=68Lp/mm.

MTF is Contrast of output image/Contrast of input image. Since the input image is always larger than the output image, therefore the MTF value is always from 0-1.

MTF30 means the line pairs when the image MTF value is 0.3.

So to calculate the image side resolution, the formula is 1/MTF30/2.

For example, XF-MT1X65D, the MTF30 is 90lp/mm, then the resolution is 1/90/2=5.56um.

What Is The Resolution Of Telecentric Lens?

Resolution is the ability to resolve details in the object. It describes the thinnest line that the human eye can distinguish.
