Precise Eye
Not Your Standard Video Lens
There are a growing number of
video imaging applications in
which a single, constant magnification and a fixed working
distance are required. Navitar has
responded to this need with our
Precise Eye series of lenses.
Precise Eye lenses are designed to
provide superior optical performance and high vibration stability over standard C-mount video
lenses. They are optically precise
and rugged to meet the demanding needs of fixed, high magnification machine vision, metrology,
biomedical, fiber optic, and electronic imaging applications.
ing in images that are sharp, high
resolution and optically corrected
for remarkable image quality.
Precision
Precise Eye lenses provide high
resolution and low distortion. The
resolution capability (the ability to
distinguish minute detail) exceeds
that of standard C-mount video
lenses and most other competitive
micro optics. Precise Eye lenses
from Navitar yield image resolution
as high as 220 lp/mm.
Contrast
The lenses in the Precise Eye series not only resolve finer details,
but provide higher contrast levels
(the difference between light and
dark features) over standard video
optics. A lens that produces an
image with high contrast will
increase the performance of an
image processing system.
Transmission
Precise Eye lenses are supplied
with a high quality, broad band,
high efficiency, anti-reflection
coating that is optically corrected
for the spectral range of 400nm
– 1000nm which allows each
lens to image light from NIR laser
diode and NdYAG lasers.
Working Distance
Precise Eye lenses offer high magnification at long working distances
in order to provide the necessary
space required for equipment,
specimen handling and lighting.
Flexible by Design
The Precise Eye series of lenses
is designed on a modular basis.
This interchangeable design,
combined with a wide selection
of available attachments, fixed
or 3 mm fine focus, allows you
to easily meet your exact needs.
Lighting
Fiber optic, LED, co-axial, ring
light or other light sources can
be selected for specific applications.
Distortion
Precise Eye lenses can attain
distortion of less than 0.14%.
Selecting the Correct Lens
Simply choose the block from
the Magnification Matrix that
most closely approximates your
requirements.
Precise Eye Versus Video Lenses
When selecting a lens for high precision applications, it is
important to differentiate between standard video lenses and
Navitar’s Precise Eye series. Video lenses were originally
designed for very low magnification, surveillance applications at working distances of greater than three feet (approximately 1 meter). They were never intended for the high
vibration and high magnification environments of the factory
floor. The usage of extension tubes and close-up diopter
lenses enable a standard Video lens to work close-up, but this
increases distortion and produces loss of resolution.
On the other hand, the Precise Eye series is designed to
provide high resolution, diffraction-limited performance for
high magnification fixed applications. The Navitar Precise
Eye series covers magnification factors between 0.22X and
91.0X. The working distance ranges from 13 mm up to
370 mm.
Precise and robust, they are used in machine vision and
biomedical applications requiring a fixed field of view,
high magnification and high quality image from a long
working distance. They provide a fixed aperture, fixed
focus and fixed working distance which ensures robust and
repeatable performance in your demanding environment.
Fine focus mechanisms are available on two models.

About Using NIR Lenses
The wavelength band just beyond the visible is known as Near Infrared
(NIR). NIR is the electromagnetic band of wavelengths between 0.7-1.5
microns (700-1550nm). When light strikes a glass surface, a portion is
bounced back, thereby reducing the strength of the transmitted image.
Apply this behavior to fixed focal length optics with many glass surfaces,
and the result is a severe reduction in image intensity. To counteract the
loss, the lenses are coated with materials that minimize this effect.

Applications Where
NIR Optics are Useful
• Wafer characterization.
• Laser beam profiling.
• Optical component
measurement and analysis.
• Fiber alignment and inspection.
• Assembly and monitoring.
Note: Since NIR lenses are not operating within the visible spectrum, the resulting image is slightly different than when using a standard Precise Eye system. The
standard lens resolution limits of an NIR lens are based on an assumed average
wavelength of 0.5 microns and is inversely proportional to wavelength (maximum
MTF = 3000xNA in the visible wavelength). Therefore, substituting a wavelength
of 1.5 microns will reduce the maximum resolution by a factor of 3. In practice,
this means a slight reduction of contrast at the higher wavelengths.
Lens focal lengths shift slightly with wavelength, which impacts the Numerical
Aperture (NA), which affects the depth of field (.0005/NA^2). Generally, the NA
is reduced, which produces a greater depth of field, along with a reduction in
maximum resolution. Standard NIR microscope objectives are usually lower in
NA, also reducing maximum resolution values.

• Fiber optics illuminators
• Power supplies
Illumination has proven to be one of the most important components when designing a successful imaging
system. Navitar thoroughly understands that the correct lighting can only enhance the performance of our
industry leading vision systems.
Our LED-based ring lights and coaxial lights were
designed with careful consideration for the standard
working distances that most of our customers use. The
components are low profile and provide bright, even
illumination to compliment the performance of your
vision system.
Our series of high intensity fiber optic illuminators
and accessories allow you to position your light for
the best possible viewing. These versatile illuminators
offer low operating temperatures and low noise
output.

Digital Camera Adapter
Navitar’s unique Digital Camera Adapter allows you
to couple your digital camera or camcorder to any
C-mount or standard SLR lens, microscope or telescope, permitting a digital recording of your subject
matter.
The Digital Camera Adapter
comes with a male M37 x 0.75
thread, a popular thread size used
on a number of different cameras.
If, however, your camera does
not have the correct thread size,
the required adapter is readily
available from most aftermarket
camera shops (recommended web
sites are www.dcprodirect.com or
www.steves-digicams.com).
• Attaches digital camera or camcorder to any
C-mount or standard SLR lens.
• Permits digital recording of subject matter.
• Includes a male M37 x 0.75 thread.
• Fits any standard 30 mm microscope eyepiece port.
• Enables any lens to be used as a standard
monocular for direct viewing with the eye.
The Navitar Camera Adapter works beautifully with
microscopes, fitting into any standard 30 mm eyepiece
port. In the case of SLR lenses, the appropriate Cmount adapter will be needed (i.e. Pentax K-mount to
C-mount adapter, T-mount to C-mount adapter, etc.).
Telescopes require a 1¼” to C-mount adapter. All of
these various adapters can be fitted to the Navitar Digital Camera Adapter to couple cameras and camcorders
to virtually any lens, microscope or telescope.
In addition to allowing you to photograph and record
digital images, this innovative camera adapter also
enables any lens to be used as a standard monocular for
direct viewing with the eye.
