Coaxial Illuminator vs. Near Vertical Illuminator

Post by atariwarrior »

What are the circumstances for using a coaxial illuminator or near vertical illuminator? Do they give the same results? Is one better than the other?

I always thought near-vertical illumination would be useful for inspecting the sides of deep holes. It seems Leica might agree:
The Leica LED3000 NVI near vertical illumination system with 2 integrated LED’s in near vertical LED position increases brightness level and reduces shadows, which is ideal for inspection of holes or depressions.
