    (CX4 or LC connector). Teledyne DALSA’s Linea HS cameras and compatible frame grabbers combine to offer a complete solution for the next generation of automatic optical inspection systems. This camera is recommended for detecting small defects at high speeds and over a large field of view in LCD and OLED flat panel displays, DNA sequencing, printed circuit boards, film and large format web materials.
  • Page 9: Color And Multifield Technology

    Multifield is a new imaging technology that enables capturing multiple images using various lighting conditions (for example, brightfield, darkfield and backlight) in a single scan. Teledyne DALSA’s Linea HS multifield camera is the first product in the industry capable of capturing up to three images using light sources at different wavelengths.
