Q&A: Basics Of Light Control For Machine Vision Applications, Part 3
Part 3 of a Q&A with Ken Zeiler, technical director and senior designer, MERCRON Inc.
In the final part of this Q&A, we cover topics such as the typical and unusual machine vision applications for MERCRON light controllers, the role MERCRON's regulated light controllers play in quality control/quality assurance, and which light sources MERCRON products drive and regulate.

Product Focus
Single Photon Counting Module Excelitas' new Single Photon Counting Module: SPCM-UV is a self-contained module that detects single photons of light with enhanced photon detection efficiency in the range of 400 to 500 nm, with performance parameters often outperforming photomultiplier tubes as well as current Si APD-based single photon counting modules. • Download Product Note • Request Information

High-Resolution Uncooled SWIR Infrared Module Xenics' XSW-640 camera module (part of the new Xenicscore family of compact, uncooled OEM modules) is an extremely compact and versatile core for easy and swift integration in your SWIR imaging configuration. The XSW-640 detects shortwave infrared radiation between 0.9 and 1.7 µm with a wide dynamic range. • Download Datasheet • Request Information
