Method for observing a wide area with coaxial light

同軸照明で広範囲を見る方法

 

In coaxial lenses with a half-mirror inside, it is not physically possible to insert a half-mirror larger than the diameter of the lens.

To observe a wide area, one solution is to use a planar light-source coaxial illumination system, separate from the lens, and position it along the optical axis.

The above setup uses a low-magnification lens and a 25×25 mm planar light-source coaxial light.

With this configuration, it is possible to observe the entire surface of a 1-yen coin.
