Mind the Gap – Key Considerations for Spacers

We invite you to attend this 30-minute lab series presented by Nick Sischka, Director of Imaging for Edmund Optics®. Join this event to learn the fundamentals of using spacers in machine vision systems.

At the end of this webinar, attendees will have a strong understanding of:

• Basic lens theory to understand how image and object distances are related
• Mechanical and optical constraints that limit working distance minimums and maximums
• What happens when you use a spacer to allow the lens to focus closer than intended
• How to mitigate negative impact to optical performance when using spacers
