(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 22, 2008 ) El Segundo, CA - The Optical Systems Division of Marshall Electronics announced today the release and availability of the new V-140-1.0 Ultra-Low Light Lens. The lens is ideal for environmental or hazardous monitoring applications requiring extremely low-light imaging. The lens opens up new ways to allow monitoring of critical areas that may be in difficult or impossible to permit in-person close-up viewing. The lens includes a long focal length (140mm) with an F1.0 aperture and produces excellent image quality when used with a 0.01 to 0.003 lux CS-mount camera. This lens/camera combination provides performance approaching military amplified light scope devices, but at a fraction of the cost.

A horizontal shot size of approximately 45 feet will be clearly observed when viewing an object at 1,000 ft, using a 1/2 inch image sensor. The V-140-1.0 Ultra-Low Light Lens provides near zero ambient light performance without grainy, noisy image quality, says Michael Nokleberg, Senior Project Manager at Marshall Electronics. Users will be impressed by the performance, build quality, and low cost factor of this lens.

The list price for the V-140-1.0 is $2,499 and the lens is now available.
