Collimators/Focusers focus light exiting optical fiber.

Assemblies provide collimated beam of desired diameter or focus light to one spot. Antireflection-coated lenses are diffraction-limited and are capable of achieving spot sizes as small as a few microns in diameter. Products may be used in pairs to couple input and output light of optical devices and are available in three wavelength ranges: 350-600, 600-1050, and 1050-1600 nm. Effective focal...

Ring-Light Adapters provide light for machine-vision lenses.
Architectural & Civil Engineering Products

Ring-Light Adapters provide light for machine-vision lenses.

Adapters extend working distance with LED ring lights that are mounted in front of video lenses without blocking viewing path. Users mount 4 in. LED ring lights to front filter thread of many video lenses. Anodized-aluminum adapters slide into flange protruding from back of ring light and are held in place by 3 set screws. Units are available in 12 industry-standard filter thread sizes, ranging...
