Computar M5018-APVSW 50mm ViSWIR Hyper Apo Lens
The CBC-Computar M5018-APVSW is a 50mm F1.8 ViSWIR Hyper Apo fixed focal length lens designed for broadband visible-to-SWIR imaging from 400 nm to 1700 nm. Built for 5MP visible + SWIR sensors and a 1/1.4" image format, this C-mount lens provides high-resolution imaging performance for applications that require sharp, consistent focus across both visible and short-wave infrared wavelengths.
With Computar’s ViSWIR Hyper Apo optical design, the M5018-APVSW reduces focus shift across different wavelengths and working distances. This allows users to capture visible and SWIR images without constant refocusing, making the lens ideal for hyperspectral imaging, machine vision inspection, UAV imaging, remote sensing, material analysis, and industrial imaging systems.
The M5018-APVSW uses broadband coating technology to deliver high transmission from 400 nm to 1700 nm. Its low-distortion design helps maintain megapixel clarity in demanding inspection and sensing environments where image accuracy, wavelength consistency, and reliable optical performance are critical.
As the 50mm option in Computar’s ViSWIR Hyper Apo lens series, the M5018APVSW is well suited for applications requiring a tighter field of view, longer working distance, or more focused inspection area. The series is available in 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal lengths for flexible visible-SWIR system design.
