Zero-Distortion Macro Lenses
MC series macro lenses are designed to capture images of small objects when both very good resolution and nearly zero distortion are needed.

Traditionally, small object fields-of-view are often observed by means of long focal length lenses equipped with an additional spacer which is used to adjust the working distance. Unfortunately, this approach leads to several problems like high image distortion, resolution loss (especially at the corners), poor depth of field and chromatic effects, making this method not suitable for good imaging nor suitable for applications with accurate measurement requirements.

Using MC lenses specifically designed for macro imaging overcomes these issues.

Providing very high image resolution, the very low optical distortion makes these lenses perfectly suitable for precise dimensional measurement applications.
Key advantages
• Zero distortion Suitable for any measurement application where telecentricity is not required
• High resolution MC Series has been specifically designed to work in "macro" configuration
• Compactness The series has a small outer diameter (15 mm)and fits those applications where only little room for optical components is available
