Typical machine vision lenses have a working distance range insufficient for close-up inspection of small objects. C-mount spacers can be inserted between the camera and lens to get around this limitation, but such an approach results in diminished image quality.

A better solution is to use a lens that is designed from the ground up for close-up imaging.  Macro lenses from Opto Engineering® provide an excellent solution for sharp and accurate close-up imaging.

Opto-Engineering lenses are built for rugged industrial environments. Their compact form factor, optical capabilities and excellent value make the Opto Engineering® macro lenses an ideal solution for a wide range of machine vision systems.
