ImageMaster® Cine
Testing and fine-tuning of the image quality of large lenses and lens systems
High-quality lenses from the photo and film industry need to meet the highest demands for image quality and deliver demonstrably superior optical performance. The MTF measurement has established itself as the recognized measurement method for qualitatively assessing the optical quality of lenses. With its ImageMaster® product range, TRIOPTICS is the market leader for MTF measuring instruments for high-precision measurement of image quality.
Highly precise and in realtime
With its ImageMaster® product range, TRIOPTICS is the market leader for MTF measuring instruments for high-precision measurement of image quality. ImageMaster® Cine was specially developed for the inspection and alignment of sophisticated lenses. The simultaneous measurement with real-time MTF values allows fast fine tuning of the lens components for optimizing the image quality.
Flexible
The complete ImageMaster® Cine portfolio encompasses various solutions for different customer requirements for the fast MTF function testing and alignment of optical elements of cine lenses.
Quality Control
Lens manufacturers use these systems for quality control or final adjustment during production. In addition to fast quality and functional testing, optical elements can be aligned. Rental companies benefit from the ability to quickly inspect the lenses upon their return.
Product Overview
ImageMaster® Cine Flex
Measurement of image quality and adjustment of high-quality photo and film lenses
Manufacturers of sophisticated photo and film lenses often test a large number of lenses of different sizes within a short period of time and need a highly accurate measuring device that can be used flexibly for different lens sizes. With its automated measuring sequence and the possibility of quickly changing between different lens sizes, ImageMaster® Cine Flex is the perfect solution for this requirement.
Fast quality and functional testing as well as alignment of optical elements
Flexible change between different sample sizes
Measurements can be performed on-axis and off-axis
Simultaneous measurement of two off-axis positions with live MTF values allows for quick adjustment of lens elements to optimize the lenses optical performance
Adjustment for different sample heights with motorized stage
Measurement with sample rotation (manually or motorized)
Performance check on multiple field positions: 2 to 3 motorized telescopes
Off-axis angles up to 52.5°
Horizontal and vertical measurement set up: allows identification of loose lenses
Software with lens repair function
ImageMaster® Cine Linear
Quality testing of photo and cine objective lenses
ImageMaster® Cine Linear ensures fast and economical quality inspections of photographic and film lenses and is particularly suitable for incoming inspection in the rental business.
Horizontal measurement setup for incoming quality control
On-axis finite and infinite measurements
EFL as well as FFL measurements
Two collimators for quick change of EFL
Different filters and reticles
Modulable LED (RGBW) light source
Option: Optical low pass filter
ImageMaster® MF 200
MultiField MTF test device for lenses with large focal lengths
High quality lenses for the photography and film industry must meet the highest demands in terms of image quality and be shown to deliver the best optical performance.
For the qualitative evaluation of the optical performance of lenses, the MTF measurement instrument is suitable for use in development, quality control, production and incoming goods inspection.
Single seat tester for 360° MTF measurement of a lens by means of a highly accurate air bearing
As the lens is rotated, the MTF is measured continually at several field positions (MultiField = MF)
On / off axis MTF testing from multiple field positions
EFL range: 18-90 mm
Automatic x/y centering of optical axis
Rotational motorized air bearing stage
Certification traceable to international standards
User-friendly software with automatic OK / not OK result
