How back lights work

When to use back lights and where to place them

back lights and how to adopt them

Back light illumination places a bright, luminous surface opposite the camera with the target object placed in the beam path between the illumination and the camera. This makes outlines visible and measurable with great precision due to the maximum contrast achieved with backlighting.

Application example: Contour and dimension measurement, foreign object inspection, fill level control, inspection for burrs.
