Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial visual inspection, and in particular to an ultraviolet-visible light confocal object image double-telecentric imaging optical system. Background Art
[0002] For projects involving refined detection of surface defect features in industrial visual inspection, in pursuit of high resolution and high contrast, blue light or ultraviolet light is often used in conjunction with telecentric lenses or ultraviolet telecentric lenses for imaging. However, this type of inspection generally requires the use of multiple light sources. Telecentric lenses in the ultraviolet band will reduce resolution due to defocus under other light sources. Therefore, a telecentric imaging system that can achieve confocality in the ultraviolet and visible light bands is the best choice for such applications. Currently, the market lacks high-performance telecentric lenses that can achieve confocality in the ultraviolet and visible light bands, especially under the most widely used 1X optical magnification condition. Based on this demand, this telecentric system that can achieve confocality in the ultraviolet and visible light bands was designed with a 1X magnification as the design basis, providing a new solution for high-precision surface defect detection.
