Many companies offer filters developed for photography or other applications, but these are not usually readily adaptable to industrial vision equipment.

Selecting the correct filter is often critical in machine vision applications and the Midwest range includes infra-red, ultraviolet and visible spectrum filters in sises from the popular M25.5 and M27 up to M62.

They are suitable for use with monochromatic or white LED lighting, fibre optic illumination, structured diode-generated light patterns and other lighting commonly used in machine vision applications.

The coatings of the filters are extremely durable, nonhygroscopic and do not require special care or handling.

They withstand repeated cleaning, solvents, high heat, humidity, and vibration and have an almost unlimited life span.
