Single-Axis Scheimpflug Adjustment Module Enables Selective Focus, Expanded Depth-of-Field and Improved Sharpness Across Three-Dimensional Objects in a Single Image Capture

Excelitas Technologies® Corp., a leading industrial technology manufacturer focused on delivering innovative, market-driven photonic solutions, today introduced the pco.scheimpflug Camera Adapter. Optimized for large image sensors, the new pco.scheimpflug Camera Adapter allows quick and easy fine adjustment of the focal plane of PCO® imaging systems to oblique angles. This enables users to achieve selective focus, expanded depth-of-field, and improved sharpness across three-dimensional objects within a single image capture.
Designed for PCO cameras, including the pco.edge 10 bi LT CLHS sCMOS Camera and pco.edge 26 USB/CLHS sCMOS Cameras, the pco.scheimpflug also offers an option for V-Groove interface to the LINOS® Lens portfolio. It is an ideal solution for applications requiring scientific imaging techniques such as particle image velocimetry, or planar laser-induced fluorescence, as well as for process monitoring, including visualization of spray applications, or in additive manufacturing.
Key features include:
Rugged design
Imaging with focus planes set to an oblique angle
Continuous adjustment within +/- 18° angle possible
Exchangeable inserts for V-Groove/C-/TFL-mount lens adapter available
Customized / OEM configurations on request
“The Excelitas PCO portfolio has a long legacy of developing cameras and optoelectronics for diverse applications such as scientific and industrial research, automotive testing, quality control and metrology, which makes us extremely pleased to introduce the pco.scheimpflug Camera Adapter as our latest digital imaging innovation,” said Dr. Alexander Dietz, Product Manager at Excelitas. “By utilizing the so-called ‘Scheimpflug Principle,’ the pco.scheimpflug overcomes spatial restrictions that make it impossible to place a camera parallel to the sample plane, so that users can properly focus on all areas of the region of interest to record the entire image in perfect focus.”
Excelitas will display the new pco.scheimpflug Camera Adapter from May 6 - 9, 2024 at Automate 2024 Booth #4070 in Chicago, IL.
