The MidOpt® Acrylic Filter Series

MidOpt Acrylic Protective Windows and Acrylic Longpass filters are a glass alternative designed to protect your machine vision system in scenarios where glass is not allowed, such as food inspection and applications in potentially harsh environments. Acrylic is a durable, lightweight, and economical solution for these types of applications. They also come with optional coatings, including Anti-Reflection and Oleophobic, and Hard Coat for a durable and robust design. MidOpt acrylic is also designed to work in visible, infrared, and a combination of both.

Learn more about MidOpt Acrylic filters designed for Machine Vision through this presentation presented by Georgy Das. See all the possibilities of optical grade protective windows and filters MidOpt has to offer.

Right Angle Attachment by MidOpt®

  • Permits viewing at a 90° angle
  • Helpful for applications with space constraints
  • Attachments can be adapted to smaller lenses by using step-up rings
  • Assembly locks in position with a thumb screw, guarding against movement due to shock or vibration
  • To avoid vignetting, use with longer focal length lenses (16mm or higher)

New MidOpt® 450nm Indigo Bandpass Filters

Enhance viewing of subjects illuminated by a 450nm blue LED or laser light source.

MidOpt® introduces the BP450 Indigo Bandpass and the BN450 Narrow Indigo Bandpass, two new filters designed for multi-application use. The MidOpt BP450 is commonly used as a filter for UV fluorescence applications with an emission ranging from (430-460nm). It is suitable for use with LED or laser diodes with higher than normal ambient lighting conditions.

Blue LED Illumination and UV Excited Blue Fluorescence Applications:

The BP450 is an excellent choice for enhancing viewing of subjects illuminated by a 450nm blue LED. For UV Fluorescence applications, its broad bandwidth and high peak transmission results in significantly brighter, higher contrast images.

Blue Laser Applications:

The BN450 Narrow Indigo Bandpass is a great choice for use with 3D blue laser triangulation systems used for measuring position, distance, level, displacement, proximity and profiles of objects. This also includes industrial process automation and control, as well as for test and measurement in process monitoring and validation. It is also highly-effective when used in applications with higher than normal ambient lighting conditions.

StableEDGE® and A/R-Coated:

As with all MidOpt Bandpass filters, the BP450 and BN450 are both manufactured with MidOpt StablEDGE® technology making them less sensitive to angle of incidence variations than traditional interference filters. They are also both coated with the MidOpt BBAR Anti-reflection coating. Both filters are available with standard lens mounts ranging from 13.25mm to 105mm. They are also available in unmounted sizes up to a 165mm square

New LP8000 Germanium DLC Coated LWIR Protective Window

MidOpt introduces the LP8000 Germanium Window has a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating that is abrasion-resistant and can withstand harsh environments. It has a 7,500-12,500 nanometer useful range and is an ideal protective window for thermal camera enclosures. It also has an anti-reflection coating to maximize transmission when thermal imaging in the LWIR (long-wave infrared).
