Updated with USB 3.0 connectivity and other improvements, the BladeCam2 offers an enhanced BladeCam beam profiling experience. With ultra-small 3.2 µm pixels providing support for beams as small as 32 µm, the high resolution and highly compact BladeCam2-HR beam profiler has a thickness of only 0.5 in. (12.8 mm) for effortless incorporation into tight optical trains and OEM applications.
