A wide range of M72-threaded lenses is already available on the market, primarily used in industrial machine vision applications because of their suitability for high-resolution line scan cameras like NEOPT’s 16k models. We have previously examined this category and included many options within our portfolio of optical components and systems.

Qioptiq

Now a subsidiary of Excelitas, Qioptiq traces its origins to Rodenstock and LINOS Photonics. The company continues to produce high-quality lenses for industrial optical systems.

In addition to the proven Rodagon lenses used in modular focus systems, Qioptiq offers the L version of the inspec.x series. Like the Rodagon models, these are designed for large image fields and feature floating elements, allowing easy adjustment to system magnification while maintaining excellent performance.

SILL Optics

This German company specializes in high-quality optical components manufactured entirely within Germany (“100% made in Germany”). The Correctal© TL telecentric series is tailored for high-resolution line scan cameras but can also be used with large-area sensors. Some models support coaxial illumination, and the TDL version includes double-sided telecentric lenses.

Myutron

Renowned for its high-quality optical systems, Myutron delivers exceptional performance even for 12-megapixel sensors and sub-3.1 µm pixel pitches—compatible with C-mount configurations.

The company recently released three line scan camera series (FV-L, FV-W, and XLS) that also work well with area sensors. These models support aspect ratios ranging from 0.3 to 2.

Moritex

Formerly Schott-Moritex, this Japanese producer is set to expand its product lineup soon to enhance the universality of our SHR range.

The Future

We remain vigilant about new developments in camera components and accessories while maintaining our focus on precision for machine vision systems. After all, we believe cameras form the core of every machine vision setup—so selecting quality parts matters greatly.
