MR-Dark Field Accessory

  • Accessory to convert the Modular Ringlight into a dark field illumination. Compatible with 80mm and 130mm versions.
  • Powerful dark field effect with a very low angle incident light to highlight edges and surface details.
  • 4x M3 screws supplied.

Benefits of Dark Field Lighting

By directing light towards the subject at a shallow angle, dark field lighting can be used to create contrast in which the highlighted features appear bright against a dark background – hence the name “dark field”. Most of the reflected light is directed away from the camera (creating the dark backdrop), and only the light scattered off of any features with edges is collected by the camera, creating a striking contrast.

Dark Field Applications

  • Highlighting defects on challenging shiny surfaces
  • Edge detection
  • Inspecting dot peen marked codes and laser markings
