Are you suffering from reflected light?

Our Wire Grid type WGF™ CAMERA FILTER supports wideband imaging from CMOS to InGaAs

What Our Filter Can Do

The polarization state of light changes when it is reflected on an object. By using a polarizing filter, it is possible to selectively suppress the reflected light that interferes with imaging.

Have you given up detection such as transparent contamination or extraordinal part ?

Image inspection using WGF™ camera filters and InGaAs sensors provides detections such as transparent contamination or extraordinal part that could not detected.

What Our Filter Can Do

Polarization is also useful for detecting contaminants in opaque containers and for detecting contaminants of the same color as liquids. Many kind of resins have a phase contrast effect. When two WGF™s are placed; in front of the light source and sensor as cross nicole status, the light from the light source can not reach the sensor basically, while the light whose polarization axis is rotated or depolarized by the resin characteristics can reach the sensor.

Specification Summary

lens
Flexible
construction
A convenient double structure with a fixed frame that can be attached to a lens as it is and a rotating frame that allows you to freely adjust polarization axis. Both are same diameter size.
Filter diameter
lineup 
M40.5 M46 M52 M55 M58 M77
Lineup of 6 sizes. Applicable to most sizes with step-up rings.
coating
The filter part has a two-layer structure of wire grid film and glass, and is not AR coated. It is environmentally reliable because the wire grid layer is not exposed to outer.
option
Please contact us for special size and polarizing filters for light sources. You can get better anti reflection effect by using WGF™ for both light source and camera.
