In order to guarantee flawless control, reliable results, and the highest image quality, MidOpt filters are the greatest industrial imaging option. Every filter is made to the greatest durability requirements, enabling them to endure even the most hostile situations. Unlike traditional filters, MidOpt filters are designed with a Gaussian transmission curve to allow maximum transmission, emulate the output of the most common LED wavelengths and are less angular dependent.

Shop MidOpt Film and Polarizers

Polarizers are designed to reduce specular glare by passing only the light polarized in the direction perpendicular to the reflected light (glare). In addition, they help improve contrast, increase color saturation and detect imperfections in transparent materials. MidOpt Polarizing Filters can be easily and securely mounted to your lens and light source for maximum extinction or glare reduction.

MidOpt Filter Kits are a staple in any vision lab. Always have the right filter on hand when you need it

Shop MidOpt Adapters and Extension Rings

Adapter Rings allow Larger or Smaller Threaded Filters or Lights to adapt to an existing thread of a different diameter.

Why Choose Midwest Optical Systems (MidOpt)

Optical Performance
MidOpt filters are specifically made for industrial imaging applications and are designed to offer high transmission, block unwanted light and improve overall image quality. MidOpt filters offer an anti-reflection coating that enhances peak transmission performance by more than 90 percent. In addition, most MidOpt Bandpass filter designs are created from precision-ground, double-side polished glass to produce exceptional parallelism and fractional wave-front error.

StablEDGE® Technology
MidOpt StablEDGE® filters exhibit reduced angular dependency. Traditional bandpass filter designs are highly sensitive to the angle at which light strikes the filter and are far from optimal at wider or shallower angles of incidence. In contrast, peak transmission of MidOpt StablEDGE® filters is not significantly altered, and effects due to short shifting are minimized. This is important because of the ever-increasing demand to fit inspection applications into tighter spaces. The need to use shorter focal length (wide angle) lenses will continue to increase, and imaging at wider angles will continue to become a greater problem.

Unmatched Durability
MidOpt filters are designed for durability and high performance in even the harshest environments. Unlike conventional filters which may delaminate or deteriorate in undesirable settings, MidOpt filters are hard, dense and environmentally stable. They can withstand repeated cleaning, solvents, high heat, humidity and vibration without degradation. The unmatched stability of MidOpt filters ensures long-term reliability and accuracy. MidOpt stands behind the quality and performance of every filter.

Exceptional Quality
All MidOpt filters are closely inspected for exceptional surface quality and meet or exceed a 40/20 scratch-dig criteria. To ensure every filter upholds the highest standards, state-of-the-art Spectrophotometer technology is used to test filter performance. Each filter must pass strict guidelines for proper transmission, full-width half-max and out-of-band blocking.
