Computar M5018-VSW 50mm ViSWIR Lite Lens
The CBC-Computar M5018-VSW is a 50mm F1.8 ViSWIR Lite fixed focal length lens designed for visible-to-SWIR imaging from 400 nm to 1700 nm. Built for 1.5MP visible + SWIR sensors and 2/3" image format cameras, this compact C-mount lens provides high transmission, low distortion, and reliable megapixel image clarity for single-band visible-SWIR imaging applications.
The ViSWIR Lite Series is designed to deliver clear and precise images across the visible and short-wave infrared range by applying a multilayer broadband anti-reflection coating to the lens elements. This coating helps reduce adverse lighting effects while supporting stable transmission across a super-wide wavelength range from 400 nm to 1700 nm.
The M5018-VSW is a strong fit for applications using the latest visible + SWIR sensors where compact size, high transmission, and cost-effective SWIR-compatible optics are important. It is well suited for agriculture, medical imaging, remote sensing, industrial inspection, machine vision, material analysis, food sorting, and non-visible range imaging.
As the 50mm option in Computar’s ViSWIR Lite lens series, the M5018VSW is ideal for systems requiring a tighter field of view or longer working distance compared to shorter focal length models. The ViSWIR Lite Series is available in 5mm, 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal lengths, giving system designers flexible options for visible-SWIR camera integration.
