Selecting the Right Zoom Lens

Choosing the right machine vision lens is critical for achieving optimal performance in imaging applications. This guide covers the essential parameters and considerations for selecting a zoom lens, ensuring it meets specific application requirements.

Fundamental Parameters

To select the appropriate imaging lens, it’s essential to understand the basic components of an imaging system. Key parameters include:

• Working Distance (WD): The distance between the lens and the subject.
• Field of View (FOV): The area that the lens can capture.
• Resolution: The level of detail the lens can capture within the given FOV.

These parameters must align with the requirements of your application to ensure optimal visual performance.
