MC12K series are macro lenses specifically optimized to work with high resolution line scan cameras with sensor size up to 62 mm.
Infinite conjugate lenses, like photographic equipment optics, will offer poor performances when used to observe objects from up close: MC12K series are macro by design, enabling unmatched and uniform optical performances at short working distances.
MC12K series are the ideal choice for industrial applications where maximum image resolution is required: solar cells and printed sheets inspection, web inspection or high speed product sorting are just a few examples.
In addition to the standard M72x0.75 mount, MC12K lenses can be easily equipped with any camera mount at no additional cost ensuring wide compatibility with most common linescan cameras.

MC12K is optimized to cover most of the line scan sensor sizes up to 62.4 mm.
MC12K chromatic correction makes it well suited to applications requiring high color fidelity: for example in the print / publishing industry, where machine vision systems are installed to continuously check the press output for color discrepancies and misregistrations.

Designed for extremely fast and accurate operation, MC12K minimal optical distortion makes this lens valuable for measurement tasks, especially on large and flat objects.
