Edmund Optics (EO), a provider of optical components, announced a collaboration with PixeLINK, a specialist in autofocus cameras with liquid lens technology. The collaboration enhances the capabilities of PixeLINK's autofocus USB 3.0 cameras by accommodating Edmund Optics' line of Cx lenses, modular lenses that easily integrate elements such as internal filters or liquid lenses.
PixeLINK pioneered and recently released the first line of USB 3.0 cameras that incorporates Varioptic's liquid lens technology, and it now integrates Edmund Optics' Cx line of lenses. This breakthrough technology allows for optimized compatibility between the camera and the autofocus lens, enabling the user to acquire superb image quality in any fast-moving focus environment.
The USB 3.0 cameras from PixeLINK are C-mount and can be fitted with the 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, and 35mm Edmund Optics Cx lenses. This autofocus solution will be used in machine vision, medical, biotechnology and biometric applications and will be available on the Edmund catalogue in December or by contacting PixeLINK. The recently launched Cx Series features 4 different fixed focal length lenses with a user-adjustable mid-section allowing a maximum degree of flexibility working with filters, custom apertures or liquid lenses. The innovative lens design has been recognized by multiple respected technical magazines.
PixeLINK designs and manufactures consistently reliable industrial and life science cameras for machine vision, medical imaging, biometrics, and microscopy applications. Since 1992, PixeLINK has designed, manufactured, and supported the imaging requirements of customers around the world.
