MC series macro lenses are designed to capture images of small objects when both very good resolution and nearly zero distortion are needed.

Small object fields of view are often observed by means of long focal length lenses equipped with an additional spacer, used to adjust the working distance.

Unfortunately this approach leads to several problems like high image distortion, resolution loss (especially at the corners), poor depth of field and chromatic effects, thus making this method not suitable for good imaging neither compatible with accurate measurement requirements.

All these problems can be overcome by using MC lenses, specifically designed for macro imaging. MC optics are compact and cost-effective optics providing very high image resolution. A very low optical distortion makes these lenses perfectly suitable for precise dimensional measurement applications.
