当社のズームレンズシステムは、左から、倍率レンズアダプタ(選択可能)、ズームレンズ、エクステンションチューブ、Cマウントアダプタおよび、2/3インチセンサーフォーマットカメラで構成されています。

特長

  • マシンビジョンおよびその他のイメージング用途のモジュール式ズームレンズ
  • 6.5Xシステムの倍率:0.09~18.0倍(コアレンズは6.5X倍率調節範囲)
  • 12Xシステムの倍率:0.07~28.0倍(コアレンズは12X倍率調節範囲)
  • 作動距離 36~341 mm
  • 当社のCマウント2/3インチセンサーフォーマットカメラ用設計
  • Cマウント-SM1変換アダプタSM1A9またはSM1A10を使用するとSM1ネジ付き部品に取付け可能
  • 視野範囲 0.15~91 mm(詳細は「視野範囲」タブをご参照ください)

これらのズームレンズは、高倍率マシンビジョンおよびイメージング用途に適しています。光学性能と広いズーム範囲の適切なバランスをご提供します。ズームレンズは、エクステンションチューブ(下記参照)とお使いください。下記の6.5Xズームレンズ用レンズアタッチメントや12Xズームレンズ用レンズアタッチメントもお使いいただけます。

当社のモジュール式システムは、倍率0.7~4.5倍ズームレンズ(6.5Xズーム範囲)、または0.58~7倍ズームレンズ(12Xズーム範囲)からなります。加えて、倍率0.50、0.67、1、1.33、2倍のエクステンションチューブと0.25、0.5、0.75、1.5、 2.0倍のレンズアダプタも組み込み可能です。6.5Xシステムは、6.5X倍率調節範囲で、倍率0.09~18倍の正味倍率をご提供します。一方、12Xシステムは、12X倍率調節範囲で、倍率 0.07~28倍の正味倍率をご提供します。 この倍率調節(ズーム)は、レンズ鏡筒上にあるリセス加工された回転環でできます。これにより、V字型クランプにレンズを取り付けながら、倍率の調整を行うことが可能です。1度に取り付けられる倍率レンズは1つだけですので、ご注意ください。

倍率計算
このシステムの正味倍率M(M = 画像サイズ/対物サイズ)は、倍率レンズの倍率にズームレンズの倍率(現在の設定)とエクステンションチューブの倍率を掛け合わせたものと等しくなります。例えば、12Xズームレンズは、 0.58~7倍(12Xズーム範囲内)に設定することができます。その最大倍率の設定が7倍の12Xズームレンズを使い、さらに2倍のレンズアタッチメントと2倍のエクステンションチューブを取り付けた場合、システムの最大倍率は、2 x 7 x 2 = 28となります。各レンズの組み合わせで得られる最大および最小の倍率については、「仕様」タブをご覧ください。

CマウントアダプタMVLCMCは、これらのレンズを標準的なCマウント付きのカメラに取り付けるためにご用意しております。また、Fマウントバヨネットマウント付き2XエクステンションチューブMVL20FAもございます。なお、レンズアタッチメントはオプションとしてご用意しており、必要に応じてご使用していただく製品となりますが、エクステンションチューブはこれらのズームレンズと共に使用する必要がありますのでご注意ください(使用しない場合は、画像が結像できません)。また、当社のアダプタSM1A9またはSM1A10を使用した場合、このページでご紹介しているズームレンズは当社のSM1ネジ付きオプトメカニクスに組込むことも可能です。

当社は、標準のCマウントマシンビジョン用レンズもご提供しています。

It seems as if the FOV tab needs to be updated for additional camera formats; there are at least 8 cameras that have a format >2/3". Specifically, I am looking at the following: LP126CU MVL20A MVL6X3Z MVLCMC I'd like to know the combinatorial specs of this set; most I can infer, but FOV specifically relies on chip format (which makes sense). I also want to make sure that I am not creating a mismatched configuration (other than being lens limited on my resolution; I expect that).

I made the following set up for Flow cytometry. 1. Camera + 1x standard adapter + 6.5 Zoom lens + No lens Attachment + LEDRW40 2. Camera + 1x standard adapter + 6.5 Zoom lens+ 2X lens Attachment + LEDRW40 with the above two option I can see clear image but not cells as desire, I then order a MY20X-804 and made the this set up Camera + 1x standard adapter +6.5 Zoom lens + 20X 0bjective The challenge using the 20X objective it only allows a working distance of 20 mm and the LED light is not quite compatible and suitable to be attached at end considering the working distance. I tried lighting by holding the LED light, still can see anything. Two possibilities 1. Either the use of two adapters instead of one (idea adapter height (11.4mm) while combined would give a height (16.4mm).OR 2. I came across a document in NAVITAR web page Based on the information and images provided the zoom lens with internal co-axial zoom would be more suitable for the monitoring single cells. Even though a table providing the field of view matrix indicates both types of zoom lens are compatible with the objective and can give same performance. If read it correctly. Any advice or do you think we should use MVL12X3Z instead of MVL6X12Z Thank you

Hello Ali, thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. It is not common to see an objective used on these particular lenses however Navitar does make similar zoom lenses specifically for use with microscope objectives. The illumination mode that works best depends strongly on the sample being imaged and whether contrast is required more at larger or smaller features. I have reached out directly to discuss your application in further detail.

Hi, I was wondering if there is any possibility of doing darkfield microscopy using this setup, for example by sliding a darkfield filter in the optical path.
ksosnowski  (posted 2023-08-25 01:55:13.0)
Hello Ruben, thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. We recently released an LED Ring Light: LEDRW40 which is designed for oblique illumination as is necessary for darkfield microscopy. There is no access to the fourier plane to place a DC blocking spatial filter however, and there is not a filter slot in the optic train. I have reached out directly to discuss this application in further detail.

Dear, I have the 6X Zoom lens with coaxial illumination and the complete magnifying setup; however, I found an issue. First, the beamsplitter was sent loose, but on the first try, I saw something. After that, handling the tube, the beam splitter moved the position, and I did get the image back. Then, I noticed that the beampliiter could be threaded. So, I opened the MVL6X3Z and threaded the beampliterr in that position. But, to my surprise, I could not form an image. So, it seems that the fixed place is not correct. Any help will be appreciated.

YLohia  (posted 2021-08-27 02:07:13.0)
Hello, we do not have a direct way to mount this, as the options to mount this camera are limited, and even more limited in a vertical orientation. The best option would be to use the threading on the front of this camera (M25x.75) to mount this, in combination with one of our V-mounts, to stabilize the body. Are you planning on mounting this pointing up or down, and are you planning on having a camera attached to the back side?

Hello, any lens system for a specific set of requirements can be selected using the tables given on the "Specs" and "Field of View" tabs on this page. The Specs table gives a list of all possible combinations of our Machine Vision lenses/attachments and their respective magnifications and working distances while the Field of View table provides the field of view data for all combinations of these items. The selection will depend on what you define as "short working distance" and your camera sensor size.

How does the coaxial illuminator feeds into the optical path, a 50/50 beam splitter? I’m concerned about transmission losses from this combining element on the collected light from the object being imaged for an extremely low fluorescence application.

Hello,I have a similar question for a long distance inspection microscope to look inside a cryostat. I'm currently building a new setup for STM measurements at low temperature. I need some optics to place the tip of my STM on top of a 40um-wide membrane inside my cryostat, at a minimum working distance of 200mm. I know already that magnification and working distance are conflicting requirements, for this reason I don't ask for extreme resolution, but something that allows me to recognize the membrane and put the tip on top. I have already one of your CCD Camera ( HD, 1/3" format, 1280x1024, CS-Mount ) Could any of your products be good for this purpose? Thanks and best regards,

Hello again, any lens system for a specific set of requirements can be selected using the table given on the Specs tab on this page. This table gives a list of all possible combinations of our Machine Vision lenses/attachments and their respective magnifications and working distances. For your application, the only possible working distance for your requirement that we can offer to you is 341 mm using the MVL12X025L, MVL12X12Z, and MVL20FA. This will yield a maximum magnification of 3.50, which would make your 40 um object a 140 um image. This should likely offer sufficient resolution for camera's ~4 um pixel size.

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Unfortunately, we currently do not have a suitable solution for your application. The combination of lenses to produce your required >24X magnification are MVL12X20L, MVL12X12Z, MVL20A, but they will limit the working distance to 37 mm.

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. For your requirements of 1/3 camera format, 3-10 mm FOV, 200 um resolution, and working distance > 100 mm, we recommend the following components: MVL6X075L lens attachment, MVL6X12Z zoom lens, MVL067A extension tube. This will result in a working distance of 113 mm, FOV 17.04 mm (max) and 2.67 mm (min), and a resolving limit of 6.28 µm to 19.60 µm. More information on selecting components can be found by looking at the tables presented in the Specs tab and the Field of View tab.

YLohia  (posted 2019-08-28 11:14:37.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. When you say "focus length" are you referring to the working distance of the lens or the fine focus travel? The focal length for these lenses is not specified by the manufacturer, Navitar. All of the combinations of the lenses and attachments are given in the "Specs" tab. All working distances are > 20mm. If you require more than 20x of magnification, you will have to use the MVL12X12Z instead of the MVL6X12Z.

To whom it may concern, Hello. I am jae-muk Lim, in Hanyang Univ. (South Korea) I'm making a finite system with MVL12X3Z . After several attempts, they were made using only the lenses inside the zoom lens and other objective lens. The bottom lens was removed, and I want to calculate the magnification theoretically and compare it to what is seen in the actual CCD. So I think the bottom lens will affect the magnification, and if I can see the specifications of the lens, I think I can calculate it in reverse.

The distance between the structures and the lens-camera is arround 8cm. I think your CMOS camera, MVL12x3Z and OSL2 will be very good for me. However, I am not sure about the adapters. I think all the components that I need to work are: DCC1645C, MVLCMC, MVL12X3Z, SM1V05, OSL2, SM1LTRR, SM1A1, SM1T2. am I correct or I miss someting? Thanks
besembeson  (posted 2016-02-10 10:24:31.0)
Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: Yes that is correct with additional components. You will need to add an extension tube, such as the MVL20A which will help in bringing the image to focus and an (optional) magnifying adapter such as the MVL12X20L. So a recommended arrangement will be the DCC1645C, MVLCMC, MVL20A, MVL12X3Z, MVL12X20L. For the light source through the coaxial illumination port, you will also need the OSL2, AD5LLG and LLG0538-6 or LLG0538-8. You may not need the SM1V05, SM1LTRR, SM1A1, SM1T1.

Response from Bweh E at Thorlabs: Yes you can connect this to the DFM/M. One way to do this, depending on which end you would prefer to use, will require the MVLCMC and SM1 adapter to C-mount adapter (SM1A12) or you will need an SM1A18 and a lens tube coupler such as SM1T2. You may consider having cage plates such as the CP02 and cage rods like the ER05 (four will be needed) to increase stability. I will send you drawing of the MVL6X12Z to understand why I suggested the SM1A18.
