C-Mount adapter

To get a sharp image, you not only need the right camera, but also the right lens to go with it. Our beginner's guide to lens selection will help.

How do you find the right lens for a camera? What roles do resolution, sensor size, image circle, focal length, and lens size play in creating optimal image quality?

Adapter rings can allow you to connect C-mount lenses to CS-mount cameras, broadening the application reach of the equipment. Note that CS-mount lenses cannot be connected to C-mount cameras due to the shorter flange focal distance.

The attachment of the wings to the body of the plane is comparable to the sacroiliac joint. Unlike the wings of a plane, which float freely in an open system, allowing a firm attachment to the body of the plane, the innominates are part of a closed system, which necessitates a slight amount of flexibility at their attachment to the sacrum, which is provided by the ligaments. Too much laxity will impede control and too little motion will reduce the normal pumping mechanism of the joint; either will be detrimental to stability.

The best way to visualize the movement pattern of the sacrum is to consider gait, in which sacral movement reciprocates with the ilia. In order to accommodate the two opposing iliac movements, the articular surfaces are shaped like an airplane rotor, imparting a twisting motion [1-4]. However, instead of the rotor spinning, the central body rotates, as the sacrum pivots about the prescribed paths formed into the articular surfaces of the sacrum and ilia at the sacroiliac joints, one on each side. During right nutation, the right side of the sacral base pivots anteriorly and inferiorly as the right ilium moves posteriorly and inferiorly; at the same time, the left side of the sacral base pivots posteriorly and superiorly as the left ilium moves anteriorly and superiorly. As the two ilia reverse movement, the sacrum pivots accordingly [5, 6].

Sacral motion can be compared to that of an airplane undergoing pitch, roll, and yaw, where sacral flexion/extension is comparable to pitch, sacral rotation is comparable to roll, and sacral lateral flexion is comparable to yaw. The combined movement around these three axes, each centered in the body of the sacrum, represents sacral motion.

In order to connect a lens to a camera, we need a threaded connection—the mount. Mount sizes are standardized and are indicated by letters, with the C-mount being the most common type used for machine vision cameras. It is used for sensor diagonals measuring up to 20 mm, or 1.5 inches. The thread has a nominal diameter of 1 inch (24.5 mm) and a pitch of 1/32 inches. The flange focal distance of this lens mount is 17.526 mm (0.69 inch).
