Safety Light Screens, Type 4

From wireless monitoring of waste water treatment plants, to bottling line efficiency and accurate log measurement, this issue of the Banner Insider highlights several applications — and gives you a look at our new line of universal voltage sensors. As always, your comments are welcome. Enjoy the holiday season!

Q: If lighting is the most important technical aspect of any application, how do I create contrast between the feature of interest and the background?

A: You need to exploit the four optical properties that make your feature of interest significantly different from the background:

1. Shape

2. Surface texture

3. Color

4. Translucency

Backlighting provides the highest contrast and therefore the most accurate lighting technique.
