with REVERSO¢ā Option
The
original winner of both the R&D 100 and
Photonics Circle of Excellence awards in
the same year has been brought to a new level of
performance. InfiniVar CFM-2/S is now infinity-corrected
and can be optionally equipped for the REVERSO macro
mode (see below). In addition, its resolution has
been increased c.25% over the previous model.
Infinity-correction
and increased resolution combine to make the InfiniVar
CFM-2/S the most versatile and comprehensive video
microscope available.
InfiniVar CFM-2/S
Continuously-focusable from infinity
down to 18mm, the InfiniVar CFM-2/S attains 9x primary
magnification at its closest focus and, at 60mm,
provides 1x primary magnification on-sensor. Consequently,
a movement of only 40mm equals a 9:1 zero-in ratio.
Moving InfiniVar CFM-2/S out further, a 36:1 zero-in
ratio is possible from 180mm down to 18mm. Such
adaptability allows the depth of field and magnification
to be combined for the best overall effects. InfiniVar
CFM-2/S lets you select the magnification,
working distance, stand-off, resolution and depth
of field you wish?for a totally new experience in
video microscopy.
Infinity-Correction
Infinity-correction not only provides the finest
imagery, but also permits the alternate use of two
Infinity Cap Lenses provided with each CFM-2/S:
Standard (STL) and Compressor (CTL). Both Cap Lenses
screw into the rear of the Main Body and are conveniently
user-interchangeable. The STL Lens provides the
full range of 0-9x, while the CTL Lens provides
0-5x. The CTL's range is particularly useful for
image processing at the highest possible resolution
with larger objects or smaller format (2/3-in. and
less) sensors. In this way, the InfiniVar CFM-2/S
is uniquely able to match the resolution to the
pixels of various camera formats. In effect, the
"lithography" of the resolution (the size of the
Airy patterns) can be matched to camera pixels and
format simply by using either the STL or CTL Cap
lenses. The results are images of outstanding quality.
Accessorization
Dual-port and 50/50 Beamsplitter options allow
up to two different cameras or other rear tubes
to be utilized with the InfiniVar CFM-2/S. Filters
(e.g., polarizers) can be mounted internally in
the infinity-beam, so that image quality is not
sacrificed. Amplifiers can be added either for C-mount
(DL 2x and LDL-lockable 2x) or for universal formats
(TX Tube). Please see the Price List for the ongoing
accessorization program which makes the InfiniVar
CFM-2/S a true SYSTEM instrument.
REVERSO
InfinVar CFM-2/S in REVERSO mode
The Standard Mode is only ONE of the InfiniVar
CFM-2/S configurations. The other is, literally,
180-degrees opposite: REVERSO. InfiniVar CFM-2/S
can be FLIPPED and reconfigured for REVERSO mode.
All that is required to convert from Standard to
REVERSO mode is to add the REVERSO Tube and mount
the REVERSO Tube Lens in place of STL or CTL Cap
Lenses. Once focused, translation from a fixed
point ("up and down") is made by the CFM-2/S'
patented (additional patents pending) internal focusing
system WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT MAGNIFICATION increase
or decrease?if there is any variation at all. This
makes the REVERSO mode ideal for "montage" and other
high depth of field techniques as well as critical
measurements of industrial objects from fixed positions?anywhere
from infinity down to 20mm at 1.4x.
