SINE (Sinusoidal) Targets & Arrays
Sinusoidal Target Arrays have been recognized as a superior test method for a variety of applications, from moiré contouring to reliable MTF Evaluation of materials, lenses, cameras, and electro-optical systems (Follow the hyperlink to learn about using Sinusoids for MTF eval). Sinusoidal Pattern Arrays are manufactured on two different materials for both reflective and transmissive applications. Because of the inherent limitations of reflective materials, the maximum spatial frequency of the reflective pattern arrays is limited to 20 cycles per mm, while the transmission film arrays are offered in various sizes up to 256 cycles per mm. In addition, the sinusoidal arrays are available in a Single Frequency Grating or with Multi-Frequency Gratings. If instead of continuous sinusoidal frequency, you are looking for a square wave frequency design, then look to the Ronchi Gratings page. Should you need to alter the size of the pattern or the substrate, fill out our Custom Test Targets and Charts form and start the conversation.

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)

Conformance Calibration Standard Test Card for ISO/IEC Data Matrix and GS1 DataMatrix Symbol Verifiers
AI-CCS-DM-G Rev A
This precision 2D barcode Conformance Calibration Standard Test Card is the first 2D test card to provide ALL 12 of the Primary Reference Symbols specified by ISO 15426-2 for barcode verifiers. They are sized from 0.5mm to 0.2mm so that all the symbol sizes specified in Annex A.3.1 can be tested. Symbols 1-4 are GS1 DataMatrix symbols, while symbols 5-12 are ISO/IEC Data Matrix symbols consistent with the ISO/IEC 16022 standard. The card also includes four calibrated reflectance patches.

Conformance Calibration Standard Test Card for UPC/EAN Symbol Verifiers
AI-CCS-UPC/EAN-E Rev S
For those who prefer a traditional vertical format calibration test card, APPLIED IMAGE offers our new Conformance Calibration Standard Enhanced for UPC/EAN Bar Code Symbol Verifiers. The new standard complies with both the ANSI X3.182 and ISO 15416 standards and is ideal for testing of verifiers, scanners, and other UPC bar reading equipment as well as a tool for training new operators to assure proper “methodology' in the use of verifiers.

SINE Sinusoidal Vision Demonstration Array
The Sinusoidal Visual Demonstration Array is designed to demonstrate the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the human eye. Its transmittance varies sinusoidally and increases in spatial frequency from 0.2 to 20 c/mm, following a logrithmic scale. The modulation increases linearly from top to bottom. One can see, in the image, where the visual contrast contour disappears which is the MTF of the eye. Ideally suited for teaching and demonstration, the Array is available on film mounted in glass (-G), or mounted in a 2″x 2″ projection slide.(-SL)

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).

SINE M-5 Sinusoidal Array
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-5 is made on a strip of 70mm film approximately 5.12 inches (130mm) in length.The upper row contains the sinusoidal areas with the spatial frequencies in cycles per mm. All sinusoidal areas are carefully oriented with respect to the others, and the lines at the left end of the array have been added for alignment purposes.

SINE Sinusoidal Single Frequency Gratings
Our SINE Sinusoidal Single Frequency transmittance patterns have proved to be very useful for specialized MTF Measurement as well as for such applications as moirè contouring. They are made on film base material with a nominal thickness of 0.175mm. This material is polyester and tends to be somewhat birefringent. The harmonic modulation values are generally 3% or less.

SINE M-15-60 Sinusoidal Array
The reflective Sinusoidal Array SINE M-15-60 is similar to the M-13-60 (1X version) except that the range of spatial frequencies begins with 0.25 cycles per mm and extends to 20 cycles per mm. To compensate for the additional frequencies, the 3/16 cycles per mm area has been eliminated. Both arrays are imaged on Photo Paper.

SINE M-14 Sinusoidal Array
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-14 was designed for various electro-optical applications, particularly where a small array is needed to fit into the frame. It can fit into an 18mm diameter circle or into a standard 35mm motion picture frame.The lines in the SINE M-14 lie perpendicular to the length of the film. In addition, the pattern is available on a wider film (without perforations) cemented between glass (TM-G options) both the .6 (-60) and .8 (-80) modulations.
