ACCESSORIES & COMPONENTS
Modular Components
The free interchangeability of the components allows many combination possibilities and ensures economical solutions. So one can combine modules (e.g. objective tubes, eyepieces etc.), to make a telescope, a collimator or even an autocollimator.
Setting up different combinations is very easy since the basic components are fully compatible with each other
Depending on the application, the user first chooses a reticle sleeve with an eyepiece, a reticle sleeve with illuminator, or an autocollimation eyepiece to build a telescope, a collimator, or an autocollimator, respectively. They can then attach an objective tube which is available in a range of focal lengths and free aperture sizes. The user chooses one reticle to be installed for telescopes or collimators, two reticles must be chosen for autocollimators. Eyepieces are available in a range of magnifications and fully exchangeable. Extension to other measurement tasks could not be simpler by exchanging one of the parts just described. All modular components are available separately and the user is free to set up the components as they wish

MODULAR COMPONENTS
Objective Tubes
Objective tubes are the core components of all testing telescopes, collimators and autocollimators. The cylindrical tube is hard chromed for high wear-resistance. All objective tubes of a standard design are fitted with two-element objectives (achromats). By interchanging the objective tube (alteration of the focal length) the measuring range and the accuracy is altered.
Objective tubes are available either with fixed distance settings or with variable focus adjustment. The variable focus adjustment is realized by tube extension. Focusable objective tubes are used where discrete distances have to be focused or if the collimators, telescopes or autocollimators should be used at other wavelengths.

MODULAR COMPONENTS
Reticle Sleeves
Reticle sleeves are available with eyepiece or illumination:
Reticle adapter sleeve with reticle and eyepiece forms with an objective tube a testing telescope.
Reticle adapter sleeve with illumination forms with an objective tube a collimator.
Reticle Sleeves with Eyepiece
Notes on ordering:
Please specify reticle and eyepiece. Instead of eyepiece with f=14.7 mm eyepieces with f=10 mm or 25 mm can be used.

MODULAR COMPONENTS
Autocollimation Eyepieces
Selecting an autocollimation eyepiece with illumination and an eyepiece along with an objective tube allows you to create an autocollimator designed for your specific needs.
AUTOCOLLIMATION EYEPIECES
Notes on ordering:
When considering placing an order please note the following:
As standard all autocollimation eyepieces are fitted with the bulb illumination 6V/5W and eyepiece f=14.7 mm.
Optionally, the autocollimation eyepiece can be equipped with an eyepiece f=10 mm or 25 mm.
Please specify reticles, illumination and eyepiece when ordering.

MODULAR COMPONENTS
Eyepieces
Although eyepieces with a focal length of f=14.7mm are typically used in most applications, Möller-Wedel Optical GmbH also offers two additional eyepieces with focal lengths of f=10mm and f=25mm to accommodate your specific applications.
EYEPIECES
Selection Criteria
In contrast to the usually used eyepiece with f=14.7 mm an eyepiece with f=10 mm gives a larger magnification but lesser image field and eyepiece f=25 mm gives a smaller magnification but larger image field.
Note: After removing the eyepiece cover ring all eyepieces can be upgraded with a C-Mount-Adapter to connect a CCD-Camera to the eyepiece.

Comparison Between CCD Chip Size and Eyepiece Focal Length
When using a C-mount adapter in combination with one of our eyepieces, the resulting magnification has an effect on the image field on a CCD chip. For example, a combination with an eyepiece with a focal length of 10 mm produces a strongly magnified image of the eyepiece reticle, so that with a 4.8x6.4 mm "½" chip only 30% of the height and 40% of the width of the reticle structure are imaged on the chip. If almost the entire reticle structure is to be imaged, the eyepiece with a focal length of 25 mm must be selected. Then 75% of the height and 100% of the width of the reticle image are displayed on the same chip size. Therefore, the eyepiece should always be selected to match the selected application. Similar effects occur when interacting with the human eye. However, these depend strongly on the user and cannot be specified exactly.
Below you will find illustrative examples of the image field used for different CCD chip sizes and corresponding eyepieces.
