Partner Liquid Lenses#
Partner liquid lenses are available with a fixed focal length design. Liquid lenses with a fixed focal length design use an optical assembly whose base focal length does not change; the liquid lens element only provides rapid, fine focus adjustment within that defined optical range.
There is a large range of partner liquid lenses available to cater for different application scenarios and requirements.
To find the right lens for your application, visit the Basler website.
Optotune Liquid Lens ELM Series#
The lenses of the Optotune Liquid Lens ELM Series support the Optic Control feature. This feature is based on the SLP protocol that enables cameras, light devices, and optic devices (e.g., a lens) to communicate directly with each other.
If you want to use the Optotune lenses with the Optic Control feature, it depends on your system setup what Basler Sync Cable you require.
Info
If the Optotune lenses listed below are used with Basler Sync Cables, observe the following:
- Ensure the lens firmware is ≥ 2.1.
- Set the lens I²C address to 0x20 (default setting).
The Optotune lenses in the following table are all equipped with a female Hirose connector with 6 pins (HRSf6p).
