Precision Optics for Every Vision System

C-Mount Lenses

High-Performance Lenses for Computer Vision

The Imaging Source's industrial cameras are equipped with either C- or CS-mounts, offering maximum flexibility for a wide range of machine vision applications. We offer an extensive selection of compatible optics that deliver both excellent value and high imaging quality.

The C-Pro Series combines outstanding image quality, a robust mechanical design, and exceptional value for machine vision applications, with resolutions ranging from 6 MP to 20 MP.

For applications demanding top-tier imaging performance, we recommend our C-Ultra Series which is built for ultimate optical performance. It combines advanced optical design and precision manufacturing to achieve the highest image quality in machine vision, with resolutions from 6 MP to 45 MP.

M12 S-Mount Lenses

Robust fixed-focus lenses with external focus adjustment

Compact and lightweight, M12 (S-mount) lenses are an ideal choice for integration with board-level USB2, USB3, GigE, MIPI CSI2, and GMSL2 cameras, offering reliable and space-saving imaging solutions. Their fixed-aperture design enhances durability, making them highly resistant to mechanical stress, vibration, and shock-well suited for demanding industrial environments.

Thanks to their simplified optical construction and smaller components, M12 lenses are generally more cost-efficient than C-mount alternatives.

The combination of a board-level camera and M12 lens results in one of the most compact and lightweight industrial imaging systems available, balancing performance, durability, and affordability in a single, streamlined package.

The S-Pro Series supports resolutions from VGA to 5 MP and offers excellent value with strong imaging performance and a robust mechanical design.

The S-Ultra Series are built for ultimate optical performance, combining advanced optical design and precision manufacturing to deliver the highest image quality, with resolutions from 5 MP to 16 MP.

Optical Filters for Industrial Imaging

Optimal contrast for image processing reproducibility and stability.

The primary task of any vision system's hardware is the production of high-contrast images, allowing for relevant image data extraction and reduced processing time. Optical filters for machine vision applications deliver significant improvements to image contrast. Bandpass filters, for example, greatly improve contrast in monochrome images while polarization filters reduce glare and surface reflections.

We are happy to help you with the selection of optical filters suitable for your machine vision application.
