SINE (Sinusoidal) Targets & Arrays
-
Sinusoidal Target Arrays have been recognized as a superior test method for a variety of applications, from moiré contouring to reliable MTF Evaluation of materials, lenses, cameras, and electro-optical systems (Follow the hyperlink to learn about using Sinusoids for MTF eval). Sinusoidal Pattern Arrays are manufactured on two different materials for both reflective and transmissive applications. Because of the inherent limitations of reflective materials, the maximum spatial frequency of the reflective pattern arrays is limited to 20 cycles per mm, while the transmission film arrays are offered in various sizes up to 256 cycles per mm. In addition, the sinusoidal arrays are available in a Single Frequency Grating or with Multi-Frequency Gratings. If instead of continuous sinusoidal frequency, you are looking for a square wave frequency design, then look to the Ronchi Gratings page. Should you need to alter the size of the pattern or the substrate, fill out our Custom Test Targets and Charts form and start the conversation.

ACCUplace Macro Calibration Standard
AP-M Series
-
With both X & Y axis metric scales, these dual axis targets are ideal for calibrating optical magnification in microscopes, linear distance, stage motion and squareness. In addition, with the larger area calibration scale, the calibration of low power optical systems over the longer distances can be easily carried out. The AP-M is offered on two standard materials; Glass (CG) and Opal (OP).

SINE Sinusoidal Vision Demonstration Array
-
The Sinusoidal Visual Demonstration Array is designed to demonstrate the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the human eye. Its transmittance varies sinusoidally and increases in spatial frequency from 0.2 to 20 c/mm, following a logrithmic scale. The modulation increases linearly from top to bottom. One can see, in the image, where the visual contrast contour disappears which is the MTF of the eye. Ideally suited for teaching and demonstration, the Array is available on film mounted in glass (-G), or mounted in a 2″x 2″ projection slide.(-SL)

Imaging Gauge Software Test System
-
The IMAGING GAUGETM quality analysis system was developed by APPLIED IMAGE to address the growing need to standardize the evaluation of camera image quality. The system includes a Test Chart manufactured using our ACCUedge® technology, along with unique Image Analysis Software, used together to analyze the quality of the imaging system, and then provide a summary report on the various image quality metrics. Our goal is to provide a simple to use, unique image analysis system, that can be utilized by R&D, scientists, system integrators, technicians and field operators to evaluate the camera quality or imaging system.

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).

ACCUplace Grid Indexing Pattern
AP-G Series
-
Ensuring precise motion and positional accuracy is critical for a number of video analysis systems and automated measuring instruments. The AP-G series is ideally suited for calibrating such elements, in addition to its uses in determining stage squareness, and travel distance image analysis and visual inspection systems where precise motion must be calibrated and measured. All AP-G targets have number/letter indexed columns and rows for easy calibration and are offered on four standard materials; Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).
