Cross polarization reduces glare in machine vision.

Using polarizer film on the light + a polarizing filter on the lens eliminates reflections and reveals true surface details.

Better contrast. More reliable inspection.

The right filter can optimize an entire vision system.

By matching illumination wavelength with the correct filter, engineers can improve contrast and suppress unwanted light.

Reflections can hide critical inspection details.

Polarizing filters eliminate glare and improve contrast on reflective surfaces like metal, glass and liquids.

Clearer images = more reliable inspection.

#MachineVision #Polarizers

[MidOpt @MidwestOptical]

Filters refine the light entering the camera.

Bandpass filters isolate LED wavelengths.
Polarizers remove glare.
IR filters enable infrared inspection.

The right filter can dramatically improve contrast.
