OE PolyView Lenses provide 8 different views of the side and top surfaces of an object.
A wide perspective angle (45°) makes these components suitable for the inspection of the side features of an object (i.e. the threads of a screw or a nut) otherwise impossible to image with a single camera.
Both the external walls of an object and its top can be imaged at once.
Internal surfaces of holed objects can be completely inspected from the outside.
Imaging the inner walls and the bottom of a cavity is also possible, as well as achieving a combined view of the internal and external surfaces of an object.
In addition to these unique features, PolyView Optics also grant a very high image resolution and very good image brightness.

The diagram below shows how PolyView Optics image a cylindrical object. The object is observed at a 45° viewing angle, from 8 different points of view. Eight different trapezoidal Fields of View are obtained: all the object features included in such a trapezoid will be imaged on the corresponding image portion.
45° viewing angle allows for imaging both the sides of a cylindrical object and its top; if the object is a hollow cylinder (hole or cavitiy), the inner wall of the cavity will be imaged instead of the top, thus enabling both outer and inner sides inspection.

In order to perform a complete 360° inspection, each of the 8 image portions should image at least 1/6 of the cylindrical surface; this condition ensures a good overlapping between two different lateral views, since part of the object features will be shared by two neighbouring image portions.
