Lynx EVO Near-Coaxial Illuminator
Vision Engineering is pleased to announce the release of a new near-coaxial illuminator for Lynx EVO. This new lighting is ideal for illuminating areas hard to reach with a conventional ring-light. Such as down bores and threaded holes, between tall components and narrow features. It can also be used for illuminating fine reflective finishes such as metals, alloys, microchips and for highlighting surface defects.
Near-coaxial illumination differs from the usual ring-light, by illuminating through the objective lens very close to the optical axis.
How Near-coaxial illumination differs to ring-light illumination:
The near-coaxial illuminator transmits light through the objective lens, close to the optical axis. As the light is directed close to the optical axis it is more able to penetrate the areas that the viewer can see. Light penetration from the near-coaxial is far greater than a ring light alone. Where the oblique lighting of a ringlight is great for giving even levels of illumination and softer shadows, the near-coaxial illumination may appear slightly harder. Lynx EVO’s ring-light and near-coaxial illuminator can be used independently or in combination.
The new illuminator is powered from Lynx EVO standard (EVP071) or advanced (EVP081) power supplies and requires a Remote Control ECX155 to be operated. Please note, these are not supplied with the illuminator as they can be used independently of the illuminator.
