Here are two examples where the right camera, optics, and lighting make a huge difference:

Semiconductor Wafer Inspection: Detecting tiny defects like scratches or edge chips requires high-resolution cameras, precision optics, and specific lighting (e.g., darkfield) to highlight defects on reflective surfaces. Poor choices here can easily miss critical flaws.

Food Packaging Quality Control: Ensuring labels, seals, and packaging are error-free relies on the right camera and lighting. For instance, polarized lighting reduces glare on shiny surfaces, helping detect issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
