Kowa LM50-IR-P | 50mm IR-Corrected Fixed Lens, M42 P-Mount, 43.3mm Sensor, Line Scan, Visible to NIR (400–1000nm) (Discontinued)
*Product is Discontinued, Call For Replacement Options
50mm IR-corrected fixed lens with M42 P-Mount, supports 43.3mm sensors, optimized for line scan, visible to NIR (400–1000nm), locking iris and focus, all-metal housing
The Kowa LM50-IR-P is a precision-engineered 50mm fixed focal length lens designed to support large format sensors up to 43.3mm in diameter. Featuring P-Mount (M42x1) threading, this lens delivers high-resolution performance optimized for line scan applications and large-area imaging. With IR-corrected optics, it maintains focus consistency across the entire 400–1000nm spectral range—making it ideal for both visible and near-infrared capture in demanding inspection and multispectral imaging environments.
Constructed with a rugged all-metal housing, the LM50-IR-P includes locking screws for iris and focus, ensuring operational stability in high-vibration industrial setups. Its chromatic aberration compensation from visible through NIR allows for accurate imaging in dynamic lighting conditions without refocusing. The lens’s optical quality and spectral flexibility make it highly suitable for high-MP area scan sensors, line scan systems, machine vision, web inspection, and scientific instrumentation.
