Individual UPC Bar Code Standards
-
The UPC Verification Calibration standards are a unique set of symbols that assures an exact and reliable primary bar code standard exists for UPC codes based on ANSI X3.182/ISO 15416 methodology. These standards assures that manufactures of verification equipment, scanners, QC labs and end users now have an accurate basis for checking the measurement capabilities of their equipment. These standards are intended as a fundamental calibration tool for an QC program, providing a continuous scale from best to worse case characteristics of each parameter. With complete NIST traceable data supplied, it is ideally suited to those requiring traceability, such as ISO certification. Each symbol is individually calibrated to ANSI X3.182/ISO 15416 standards using a custom built microdensitometer. These cards are supplied calibrated for use with a 6 mil scan aperture and 660nm wavelength. (calibration wit other aperture sizes or wavelengths is available)

SINE (Sinusoidal) Targets & Arrays
-
Sinusoidal Target Arrays have been recognized as a superior test method for a variety of applications, from moiré contouring to reliable MTF Evaluation of materials, lenses, cameras, and electro-optical systems (Follow the hyperlink to learn about using Sinusoids for MTF eval). Sinusoidal Pattern Arrays are manufactured on two different materials for both reflective and transmissive applications. Because of the inherent limitations of reflective materials, the maximum spatial frequency of the reflective pattern arrays is limited to 20 cycles per mm, while the transmission film arrays are offered in various sizes up to 256 cycles per mm. In addition, the sinusoidal arrays are available in a Single Frequency Grating or with Multi-Frequency Gratings. If instead of continuous sinusoidal frequency, you are looking for a square wave frequency design, then look to the Ronchi Gratings page. Should you need to alter the size of the pattern or the substrate, fill out our Custom Test Targets and Charts form and start the conversation.

SINE M-7 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-7 has an image size of 22mm x 30mm which makes it small enough to fit into a standard 35mm projection frame. The gray scale is contained in the outer rows. It is made on 35mm perforated film.The TM-G variations are produced on a wider film (without perforations) and cemented between glass. They are available at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

SINE M-6 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-6 contains the same gray scales and sinusoidal areas as the M-5 but is arranged in a shorter and wider format, making it particularly useful when the complete array is to be imaged at one time.The overall size of the array is 70mm x 46mm; centered on an 8.5 inch (215mm) strip of 70mm film, which can also be mounted in glass (TM-G variations) at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

SINE Sinusoidal Vision Demonstration Array
-
The Sinusoidal Visual Demonstration Array is designed to demonstrate the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the human eye. Its transmittance varies sinusoidally and increases in spatial frequency from 0.2 to 20 c/mm, following a logrithmic scale. The modulation increases linearly from top to bottom. One can see, in the image, where the visual contrast contour disappears which is the MTF of the eye. Ideally suited for teaching and demonstration, the Array is available on film mounted in glass (-G), or mounted in a 2″x 2″ projection slide.(-SL)

ACCUplace Macro Calibration Standard
AP-M Series
-
With both X & Y axis metric scales, these dual axis targets are ideal for calibrating optical magnification in microscopes, linear distance, stage motion and squareness. In addition, with the larger area calibration scale, the calibration of low power optical systems over the longer distances can be easily carried out. The AP-M is offered on two standard materials; Glass (CG) and Opal (OP).

ACCUplace Dot Distortion Target
AP-DD Series
-
All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Distortion target is designed to detect the presence of both barrel/pincushion distortion as well as alignment distortion that causes the keystone effect. The precise amount of distortion is determined from an array of precisely placed dots in a regular array. The results can be used to correct for any distortion that occurs within the optical system. The AP-DD is offered on three standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) and Photo Paper (RM).

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).
