Advanced Illumination - DF196 MicroBrite™ Direct Dark Field Series
- Part of the MicroBrite™ family of high performance, compact machine vision lights.
- Our DF196 Series delivers direct illumination at a low angle to cast shadows used to identify surface defects, embossed text, etc.
- This dark field ring light is more directional and less diffuse than the DF198.
- Available in 4 sizes with an intesity of 72kLux (working distance of 25mm with DF196-100)
The MicroBrite DF196 Series Dark Field ring lights deliver focused, medium angle illumination on target. As with the DF198 Series, they are available in multiple diameters and offer an RGB option.
The DF196 Series lights differ from the DF198 Series in that they were designed to be placed at a set working distance, providing a focused, fixed-size spot on target.
As is typical of Dark Field ring lights, the DF196 lights are best suited for enhancing surface contrast based on topography changes, edges and also surface defects, particualrly on specular reflective surfaces.
