Using Different Illumination Sources? Get ready to Change Your Lens Focus

The human eye perceives wavelengths between 0.400 μm (blue) and 0.700 μm (red) as white light. Standard lenses are optimized for white light, but issues can arise with non-white light sources in digital camera-based vision systems. Defining lighting requirements early is crucial. A case example using a 75 mm f/3.0 lens is discussed, focusing on selecting wavelengths and achieving desired modulation transfer function (MTF) values.

Characteristics of optical filters

Optical filters make it possible to control the effect of different types of light on the sensor. These filters are defined by their characteristic filter curve, which shows how much light they transmit or absorb. By understanding this curve, photographers can better adjust light sources and sensors to achieve the desired effects.
