Creating a Good Image
• Outstanding uniformity up to +/-10% maximum deviation within the
lighting envelope
• Illumination sources include LED, fiber optic and white
microfluorescent sources
FIGURE A–12.
SCDI
Ideal for uneven specular surfaces. Square Continuous Diffuse
Illumination (SCDI) increases the uniformity of on-axis illumination by
ensuring direct light from the diffuser is equally intense as light coming
from the beam splitter and the lighting cavity. Increasing the diffuser width
and elongating the chamber ensures any light directed to the object is
uniform. Refer to Figure A–13.
• Excellent uniformity +/-20% across the lighting envelope at close
range
