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-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.

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)

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).

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.
