ACCUplace Macro Calibration Standard
AP-M Series
-
With both X & Y axis metric scales, these dual axis targets are ideal for calibrating optical magnification in microscopes, linear distance, stage motion and squareness. In addition, with the larger area calibration scale, the calibration of low power optical systems over the longer distances can be easily carried out. The AP-M is offered on two standard materials; Glass (CG) and Opal (OP).

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).

USAF Targets
-
These targets conform to MIL-STD-150A. Frequencies change by the 6th root of 2. This target is also available in custom sizes and contrasts. This test target meets requirements as specified in MIL-STD-150A for resolving power tests. The target consists of a series of Elements having two sets of lines at right angles. Each set of lines consists of three lines separated by spaces equal to the line width. Each bar has a length to width ratio of 5:1. (Line width is equal to one half of line pitch, which is the inverse of line frequency.) Elements are arranged in groups of six each and Groups are arranged in pairs. Even numbered Groups occupy the left side and bottom right corner and contain a square feature having and edge length equal to the line length of Element 2 in that group. Odd numbered Groups occupy the top right corner and side. Groups and Elements are labeled and differentiated by numbering adjacent to their features. Frequencies in cycles/mm (c/mm) increase between each Element by the sixth root of two (approximately 12.25% per step). The general formula for the line frequency of any target Element can be expressed as 2Group+(Element-1)/6.

Barcode Conformance Calibration Standards
-
Barcode symbol quality has been at the forefront of discussion among practitioners in the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) industry since they were invented in 1951. Barcodes became commercially successful when they were used to automate checkout systems at grocery stores, with the very first scanning of the Universal Product Code (UPC) on a pack of Wrigley Company chewing gum in June 1974. The Uniform Code Council (UCC) published barcode quality guidelines, and ANSI X3.182-1990 became the first published standard for barcode quality. Since then, ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D symbols and ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D symbols have become the global standards for grading printed barcodes.

SINE M-6 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-6 contains the same gray scales and sinusoidal areas as the M-5 but is arranged in a shorter and wider format, making it particularly useful when the complete array is to be imaged at one time.The overall size of the array is 70mm x 46mm; centered on an 8.5 inch (215mm) strip of 70mm film, which can also be mounted in glass (TM-G variations) at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

ACCUplace Position Grid
AP-P Series
-
The AP-P is a unique calibration target that is designed to test the position and/or recognition ability of a vision system. The matrix of small scales, precisely positioned in a grid matrix format, makes testing for subject recognition and system positioning simple.The overall target is comprised of a matrix consisting of 6.0mm x 6.0mm square individual components each having a 5.0mm x 5.0mm X & Y Scale with 0.100 divisions. The scale has pitch accuracy of 1μm. The AP-P is available on two standard materials; Chrome on Glass (CG) and Chrome on Opal (OP).

Square Wave Patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings)
-
Square Wave patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings) have extremely sharp edges. At APPLIED IMAGE, this sharpness is achieved through our unique manufacturing capabilities and processing technologies which produces the sharpest edges available anywhere. Our standard line of Ronchi Gratings is offered on Chrome on Glass (CG) and Photo Paper (RM).The Ronchi rulings are available on other substrate materials such as B270, quartz, BK-7, and White Opal as well as in English frequency metrics (cycles per inch).

Individual UPC Bar Code Standards
-
The UPC Verification Calibration standards are a unique set of symbols that assures an exact and reliable primary bar code standard exists for UPC codes based on ANSI X3.182/ISO 15416 methodology. These standards assures that manufactures of verification equipment, scanners, QC labs and end users now have an accurate basis for checking the measurement capabilities of their equipment. These standards are intended as a fundamental calibration tool for an QC program, providing a continuous scale from best to worse case characteristics of each parameter. With complete NIST traceable data supplied, it is ideally suited to those requiring traceability, such as ISO certification. Each symbol is individually calibrated to ANSI X3.182/ISO 15416 standards using a custom built microdensitometer. These cards are supplied calibrated for use with a 6 mil scan aperture and 660nm wavelength. (calibration wit other aperture sizes or wavelengths is available)
