Description

The Waveshare 24229 Industrial Microscope Lens is engineered for machine vision, PCB inspection, and scientific microscopy applications requiring high-resolution imaging. Its C/CS-mount interface, coupled with a supplied adapter, allows for direct attachment to the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera module, enabling makers and engineers to build powerful inspection systems. The lens assembly utilizes a precision 4-group, 5-element optical design housed in a durable aluminum alloy barrel to maintain focus stability and image clarity across its variable magnification range.

With a substantial working distance and a compact form factor (Φ39 × 112mm), this lens is suitable for integration into automated production lines, laboratory setups, or educational projects. Its wide temperature tolerance ensures reliable performance in challenging conditions, from factory floors to research environments, making it a versatile tool for detailed visual analysis and quality control.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lens compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2?

No, this lens is specifically designed for cameras with a C or CS-mount interface. The Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 uses a smaller M12 mount and is not directly compatible. This Waveshare 24229 lens is intended for the higher-quality Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, which features a C/CS-mount. You would need an HQ Camera or another industrial vision camera with a compatible C/CS-mount to use this lens effectively.

What is the difference between C-mount and CS-mount, and which does this lens use?

C-mount and CS-mount are standard threaded lens mounts for industrial cameras, differing primarily in their flange focal distance (the distance from the mount to the sensor). CS-mount has a shorter distance (12.5mm) than C-mount (17.526mm). This Waveshare lens is supplied with a C/CS-mount adapter ring. You use the lens as a CS-mount lens by default. To adapt it for a C-mount camera body, you attach the included ring, which increases the distance, making it compatible with both standards. Always check your camera's specific mount type before installation.

How do I calculate the actual field of view and magnification for my specific setup?

The actual field of view and effective magnification depend on the sensor size of your camera and the selected magnification setting on the lens (0.12X to 1.8X). For a 1/2" sensor (as this lens is designed for), the basic formula is: Field of View (FOV) = Sensor Size / Magnification. At 1X magnification, a 1/2" sensor (approx. 6.4mm horizontal) gives a 6.4mm horizontal FOV. Adjusting the lens ring changes the magnification, thereby altering the FOV. For precise calculations, refer to your camera's sensor datasheet and use optical design software or manufacturer-provided charts for this specific lens model.

Can this lens be used for automated inspection, and how is focus adjusted?

Yes, its robust aluminum construction and precise optics make it suitable for automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. Focus is adjusted manually via a focus ring on the lens barrel. For automated systems, you would typically set the focus during the initial calibration of your vision station. The wide operating distance (55-285mm) provides flexibility in positioning your camera and lighting. Ensure the lens is securely mounted and the focus ring is locked in place after calibration to prevent drift during operation in high-vibration industrial environments.
