Advanced coaxial illumination

Illumination for homogeneous illumination of uneven surfaces.

Using an additional reflection chamber the light is not emitted directly from the light source onto the object via the semi-transparent mirror, delivering a much more homogeneous illumination.

The following examples show printed foil packaging which is highly reflective and has a significantly varying profile. Using advanced coaxial light provides a very even illumination with mini mal highlights.

This type of illumination is suited for uneven surfaces that have a more pronounced profile such as wrinkled paper, foils, threads of screws, PCBs with soldered components, moulded plastics etc. Using advanced coaxial light provides a very even illumination with minimal highlights.
