When visible lighting cannot produce enough contrast to reliably detect a feature, changing the wavelength can reveal information that remains hidden. Understanding how UV, NIR and SWIR interact with different materials is key to selecting the right approach for industrial inspection. That’s why we’ve created an 8-page white paper, “UV, NIR and SWIR Lighting for Industrial Inspection.” Our experts explore the optical principles, application areas and engineering considerations involved in selecting and implementing the right wavelength. Machine vision novices and experts will gain insights on:
- How UV, NIR and SWIR reveal different information
- When to consider UV, NIR or SWIR for an inspection
- How to select the appropriate wavelength based on the feature and required contrast
- The importance of evaluating visible light and lighting geometry before moving beyond the visible spectrum
- How camera sensitivity, optics, filters, intensity and system compatibility affect wavelength selection
- Applications including fill-level inspection, adhesives and coatings, food and agriculture, authentication, surface defects and semiconductor inspection.
