ASPHERIC OPTICS FROM GLASS, QUARTZ, VITREOUS CERAMICS
Automatic lens shaping with a small instrument
Process inspection
The complex is designed for production of aspheric optical elements (including the off-axis elements of glass,
quartz and vitreous ceramics). The automatic shaping technology of the sophisticated optical surfaces using a small tool and a tool-mask is employed.
AREA OF APPLICATION
telescopes with reflecting objectives (Cassegrain system)
precision optical collimators
spectroradiometer 0.4...15 μm
