Sapphire windows and plates can be utilised in a wide range of optical components, we review the key benefits and differences between them.

Optical lenses can be used for a variety of precision applications in the science, medical, imaging, defence and industrial sectors.

Optical Filters can be designed and manufactured to either limit the spectrum of light or allow it to transmit for specific applications.

Laboratories need precision microscope slides and coverslips for a wide range of uses, ranging from optical microscopy to cytology.

Fused quartz is made by melting naturally occurring quartz crystals, one of the most abundant naturally occurring minerals on the planet.

Technical glasses are used in highly specialised applications in the scientific, pharmaceutical and optoelectronics sectors.

Germanium is a heavy, highly brittle substance with a silver-grey-white appearance and a diamond-like, crystalline structure ideal for optical systems.

Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) is a naturally occurring optical substance with a unique range of propertie

Sapphire Optical windows and plates are flat components which are placed in a range of devices and systems with the purpose of transmitting the specific wavelength of light required by the application in question

Optical prisms are designed and manufactured with the aim of steering, bending, dispersing and shifting light in order to manipulate images.
