Polarising Filters

MidOpt polarising filters are designed to reduce reflections and glare from specular surfaces while improving image contrast and visibility.

Available in linear, circular and infrared polarising configurations, these filters support visible and infrared imaging applications across machine vision, industrial inspection and scientific imaging systems.

PR032 Rotating Linear Polarizer

Visible spectrum linear polariser with locking thumbscrew

PR032 rotating linear polarisers are used to reduce glare and reflections from reflective surfaces.

The rotating mount allows the filter orientation to be adjusted for optimum glare reduction and stress pattern visibility.

A locking thumbscrew prevents accidental movement caused by vibration or cleaning, maintaining consistent optical performance.

These filters are also available in slip mount and quick mount configurations for lenses without filter threads.

PC052 Circular Polarizer

Circular polariser for autofocus and autoiris camera systems

PC052 circular polarizers are designed for applications using beam splitters, such as SLR cameras and camcorders.

These filters reduce glare while maintaining correct exposure readings for autofocus and autoiris systems.

The incorporated quarter-wave retarder rotates polarized light to prevent interference with internal light meters.

PI035 IR Linear Polarizer

Infrared polariser for 850-2000nm imaging applications

PI035 infrared linear polarizers are designed specifically for near-infrared imaging applications.

Unlike visible-light polarizers, these filters provide effective polarization performance in the 850-2000nm range.

Rotating and fixed mount versions are available, with locking thumbscrews preventing accidental movement.

Infrared polarizers are also available in slip mount configurations for lenses without filter threads.
