So it begins... ALRAD IMAGING
Alrad Imaging has released the ARTCAM-900MI-USB3.0, the fi rst in a USB3.0 camera range being launched by Japanese CMOS and CCD camera specialist Artray. The camera has a 9 Megapixel Aptina 1/2.3-inch format CMOS sensor with 3,488 x 2,616 pixels and a rolling shutter. It delivers 11fps, as compared to 3fps for its USB2.0 predecessor. The body has a standard C-mount fi tting and power is supplied via the USB3.0 interface which makes the camera easy to use in many different applications. A software development kit,
DISTRIBUTOR DEALS
● Framos, a supplier of image processing systems, has signed an agreement with Smartek, a Croatian electronics company, to distribute its industrial imaging
products. ● Multipix Imaging has entered into an agreement with Panasonic
EDMUND OPTICS
Edmund Optics (EO), a provider of optical components, has introduced two liquid- fi lled lenses from Optotune of Switzerland – the electrically focus-tuneable lens and the manually focus-tuneable lens. Electrically focus-tuneable
lenses provide a single-lens solution for focus and zoom objectives. When the user applies a voltage to each compact, plano- convex lens, the lens changes effective focal length. Each lens is fi lled with a
proprietary optical liquid, and the change in voltage alters the pressure profi le of the liquid, resulting in a change in radius of curvature. This electrical manipulation of the radius allows for a focal range of +15 to +100mm and, along with an aperture of 10mm, provides an impressive variety of applications and can replace multiple elements
in an optical system. These lenses are available in high refractive index or low dispersion options for research and for OEM integration.
The manually focus-tuneable lenses use a rotating outer ring to manipulate their focus length and change the lens from convex to concave. They offer a wide focal tuning range of -40mm to infi nity to +40mm. With a large aperture diameter of 20mm, manually focus-tuneable lenses are ideal for education and research applications and they are perfectly suited for lighting systems, where the option to adjust the focal length allows for expanded control of the light source. These durable lenses are available in high refractive or low dispersion options. Cover glasses are available with a visible coating.

Electric Works Europe AG to distribute its machine vision
software. ● Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions (ISS) division has appointed Asio Vision as an offi cial industrial camera product distribution partner in Israel.
Introducing the highly anticipated, highly enabling true scientific CMOS camera from Andor. Unlike any CCD or CMOS camera to come before, Neo is unique in it’s ability to simultaneously offer ultra- low noise, extremely fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high resolution and a large field of view.
The ONLY sCMOS to offer • 1 electron read noise
• -40ºC vacuum cooling
• 100 frames/sec @ 16-bit
software for two dimensional measurements, sequence recording software and a LabView DLL are all optional features.
In addition, Alrad Imaging can now offer the Kowa range of machine vision and CCTV lenses. Kowa is well known as a quality manufacturer developing state- of-the-art optics for more than 40 years. Over the past four years, Kowa has gradually expanded its portfolio of Megapixel C-mount lenses, 3CCD lenses, telecentric lenses, and large format lenses.

‘Without pushing it to the limit we managed to take 131 planes of the drosophila embryo in just 4 seconds (5.5 megapixels mode), which is practically instantaneous compared to the morphogenetic processes and out-performs by far everything we have tried before.’
