Block Unwanted Light
MidOpt filters have the unique ability to control the quality and quantity of light, block all unwanted ambient light, pass only the output of light necessary for inspection and significantly increase contrast and resolution. This results in improved system accuracy, long-term repeatability and unmatched stability. Using affordable MidOpt optical filters also eliminates the need for costly shrouds, saving space and money.

Before: The presence or absence of green thread sealant is difficult to detect on bolt threads. The parts are illuminated with 625nm red LED lighting. | After: In a monochrome application, a BP635 Light Red Bandpass Filter placed over the camera lens used in conjunction with red LED illumination results in areas with green sealant appearing almost black in color. |
