XENON-SAPPHIRE 3.7/96MM 25-1071818 16K Macro Lens System 16k High Resolution Lens

Description

The Schneider Optics Xenon-Sapphire 3.7/96 (p/n: 25-1071818) is a 96mm focal length macro lens. This high-resolution, high-speed lens is optimized for the use with 16k pixel line scan sensors. It is broadband coated and can be used in the range of 400 – 1000 nm. The V-mount makes the Xenon-Sapphire 3.7/96 easy to install and rotate into the desired azimuth position for a wide range of high resolution applications.

The Xenon-Sapphire 3.7/96 provides three significant stop positions that are especially marked on the stop ring:

• F#3.7 is the maximum opening of the stop and provides maximum brightness. The mechanical vignetting at this F/number is only approx. 15% at the edge of the field. The MTF for 100 lp/mm is very high up to the edge of a 58 mm field. Due to the high aperture the lens is more sensitive with respect to change of magnification.
• F#4.4 shows maximum MTF and practically diffraction limited performance over the whole field. The depth of field is bigger but the lens is still sensitive to magnification changes.
• F#5.4 produces more diffraction which reduces the MTF slightly but is now extremely homogenous over the entire field. The lens shows this performance for the complete magnification range from -0.315 < ß’ < -0.27 and performs well for a magnification range of -0.33 < ß’ < -0.255 at a 16k performance of 100 lp/mm.
