Metaphase technologies

Consider un-polarized light, which consists of electromagnetic waves with an electric field vector, that oscillates in every transverse direction.

Background lighting is using light to illuminate your background. Virtually any light that is turned on in your background is a background lighting.  Sometimes your background light can hit your talent or subject.  A good practice is learning how to match those lighting scenarios to your backlight so your backlight is motivated. That helps the scene feel more real and less artificial.

LED Line Lights, as opposed to linear array bar lights, employ a secondary lens to focus the light into a narrow beam, typically for short to intermediate working distances, and are mostly used in conjunction with line scan cameras.

Spot Lights are typically characterized as general-purpose illuminators. They may be used to create both bright field and dark field effects, depending on the light angle of incidence. Working distances can be short to long, depending on available intensity and beam spread. Available in large, compact and micro sizes these high intensity spot lights are beneficial when deployed in tight spaces.

Quad Controller provides control for computational imaging, including photometric stereo, extended depth of field, combined bright field + dark field, high dynamic range, and high resolution color. It includes built-in preprogramming sequencing, 4 independent channels and 1 output connector.

There is a huge difference between backlight and background light.  Backlight is simply “illumination from behind.” Whatever the subject is, it’s literally taking a light and pointing it at the subject from behind.  Having a really powerful backlight can result in creating a silhouette.

Hopefully this stops any confusion you may have had between backlighting and background lights.  It seems simple enough but I’ve had a few people i’ve had to mention the difference to, so I thought this was a great topic for a post. Keeping it short and sweet

Dark field ring lights provide illumination that is projected at a shallow angle to the imaging surface, 45 degrees or less. Typical applications include reflective flat surface defect or edge detection. Bright field ring lights provide illumination directly onto an object, at angles of incidence above 45 degrees from horizontal, creating distinct shadows or general purpose illumination depending on subjects features.

Suitable For: Ambiance Photography, Event Photography, Photo Shoots, Photo Studio. Comes with Long Adjustable Tripod Stand. Mount Type : Standard Mount.

Advanced Illumination backlights provide an area of uniform illumination, oriented behind the object of interest, primarily for creating a part silhouette of instant contrast between dark and light. It is most useful for edge detection, part location/orientation or presence/absence, hole detection and object gauging.

Headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, we serve customers located from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast with world-class engineering support. When you need quality illumination testing, you can trust an engineering firm with more than seven decades of experience.

The ICS3 & 3S inline current source provides steady and optimal current to lights from a small package when a larger, more flexible external controller is not necessary. Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The iCS 3 and iCS 3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive Overdrive that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width. The iCS 3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the iCS 3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.

Coaxial Lights provide a type of diffuse illumination, generated from an internal source. The light is then deflected downward onto the imaging plane via a 50% beamsplitter, which also allows light from the object to be collected by the camera above. Ideal for imaging highly reflective objects or where the area of inspection is obscured by shadows from its surroundings.

The ICS2 inline current source provides steady and optimal current to lights from a small package when a larger, more flexible external controller is not necessary. Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.

Diffuse lighting, also known as “cloudy-day illumination” provides non-directional, soft illumination that is free of shadowing. This effect is well suited for inspecting highly specular, and curved objects, but at close working distances.
