Dual View Imaging System enhances FOV range and capabilities.
Press Release Summary:
With one setup, dual view imaging system lets users simultaneously view single subject and capture image at multiple fields of view (FOVs). Single objective lens is presented to 2 separate imaging channels, which can be fixed, zoom, or combination of both. Also, 2 separate light sources and wavelengths can be used to allow inspection of multiple material types. Min optical magnification range of 0.09X-6.13X, and FOVs range from 120-0.65 mm diagonal.

Navitar Introduces Versatile Dual View Imaging System
Rochester, New York - Navitar, Inc., a global leader in optical technology, has introduced a versatile dual view imaging system, allowing customers to simultaneously view a single subject and capture an image at multiple fields of view (FOV).
For situations requiring multiple fields of view, Navitar's dual view module offers, with just one setup, a single objective lens presented to two separate imaging channels. The channels can be fixed, zoom, or a combination of both. Two separate light sources and wavelengths can be used, allowing inspection of multiple types of materials. The use of different adapter tubes on each optical path provides a wider FOV than a traditional single view system, without the hassles of changing workstations or lighting setups.
The dual view system has a minimum potential optical magnification range of 0.09X to 6.13X, which corresponds to FOVs as large as 120mm diagonal on a 2/3" format sensor down to a 0.65mm diagonal on a 1/4" sensor. Maximum optical magnification using the dual view system can range from 20X to 583X using a 50X objective.
Navitar's dual view system consists of: - Combination of Fixed 1X Tube lens, Precise Eye, Zoom 6000, or 12X Zoom - Dual View fold block - LED and adjustable LED light sources - Adapter tubes
Don Ehinger, Vice President of Sales at Navitar, comments, "The dual view system is a unique mechanical system that lets our customers capture an image and present it to two different sensors. This allows for a variety of options when viewing samples. Customers have used the dual view system in applications such as camera sensor inspection, laser beam monitoring, and thin film transistor repair."
