Kowa Lenses for 1″ Sensors
Lenses for 1″ sensors are covered in several series: HC, HC-SW, HC-V, and HC-VIS-SW.
HC lenses are designed for 1″ megapixel cameras. They have low distortion, excellent light transmission, and can be used with smaller format-size cameras.
HC-SW series lenses maintain high transmission from 800nm to 2000nm. These lenses are designed for NIR and Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) applications. These IR-corrected lenses are designed to produce crisp and bright images, no matter how dark or bright the surrounding environment may be.
HC-V series lenses are for high-vibration and high-shock environments. This ruggedized megapixel lens series is ideal for applications that require increased durability and high optical performance. All internal glass elements of this series are glued. A two-way reversible nut is utilized to lock the focus adjustment ring tightly. Interchangeable iris plates, which can be glued, are used to select the F-stop.
HC-VIS-SW lenses maximize high-resolution imaging from the visible to SWIR wavelength range. With IR correction and the ability to perform well at 450nm to 2,000nm.
