LYNX Manual RA02
1.5.2 Optical
The IPX-VGA, IPX-1M48, IPX-2M30 and IPX-2M30H cameras come with
an adapter for C-mount lenses, which have a 17.5 mm back focal distance.
The IPX-4M15 and IPX-11M5 cameras come with an adapter for F-mount
lenses, which have a 46.5 mm back focal distance. An F-mount lens can be
used with a C-mount camera via an F-mount to C-mount adapter, which can
be purchased separately – refer to the Imperx web side for more
information. The camera performance and signal to noise ratio depends on
the illumination (amount of light) reaching the sensor and the exposure time.
Always try to balance these two factors. Unnecessarily long exposure will
increase the amount of noise and thus decrease the signal to noise ratio.
The camera is very sensitive in the IR spectral region. If necessary, an IR
filter (1 mm thickness or less) can be inserted under the front lens bezel.
CAUTION NOTE
1.
Avoid direct exposure to a high intensity light source (such as a
laser beam). This may damage the camera optical sensor!
2.
Avoid foreign particles on the surface of the imager.
