LINOS d.fine HR-M 2.8/80 Lens Released by Qioptiq

On September 27th Qioptiq quietly released a new high-resolution lens design. The LINOS d.fine HR-M 2.8/80 specs look fantastic, high-resolution, strict chromatic aberration control over a big image circle for sensors up to 3.5µm. This is the only new high-end lens design that I can remember in the last couple of years!

Highlights

  • Ultra fine resolution lens

  • Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture

  • Extra large 62mm image circle

  • Designed for sensors down to 3.5µm pixel pitch

  • Precision alignment for consistent performance

The lens is targeted at industrial optical inspection, quality control including PCB and print inspection, sorting applications, as well as 3-D measurement using 16K/3.5µm line scan and area scan sensors.

The inspec.x L 4/100 lens, which happens to cover the same magnification range but is one stop slower than the HR-M, has been discontinued by Qioptiq. The HR-M line also lists a 50mm HR-M so this new lens could replace the inspec.x L 4/60 at some point in the future. FYI, I happen to have two inspec.x L 4/60 lenses here in the office for an upcoming test.

The new LINOS d.fine HR-M lens series will be in the Excelitas’ booth at the VISION 2022 machine vision industry trade show coming up on October 4 - 6, in Stuttgart, Germany.

Sometime next year I hope to borrow an HR-M lens from Qioptiq for a studio and in-the-field test.
