Welcome back to Byte Size! In this episode, we tackle a crucial decision when specifying a machine vision system: F/#.
Do you know when you should adjust your aperture (f/#) for your imaging system? Do you need to increase your depth of field or your systems resolution? Stop by and learn the effects this mechanism has on your resulting performance and learn how to optimize your imaging system.
Join us as we break down:
· The effects changing your f/# has on your resolution and depth of field.
· Best practices for imaging solutions.
· Why properly specifying your systems needs is critical to performance.
