PRODUCT EXAMPLES

Windows

Windows can range from simple toughened glass windows which are used as viewports to ultra flat, optically coated laser windows.

Examples include:

Optical

UV transmitting windows are used in spectrophotometers and analytical instruments

Infra red transmitting windows are used in thermal imaging cameras and infra red heating systems

Filter glasses are used to provide transmission of specific wavelengths

For higher strength, toughened and laminated glass windows are used. For exceptional strength, chemically strengthened glass can be used with thin glass

Thermal

Quartz windows offer exceptional thermal shock resistance

Electrical

Windows can be coated with transparent, electrically conducting coating

Radiation

High lead glass windows are used for X-ray shielding and protection from radiation in medical and industrial equipment

Wear

Sapphire windows are used in high throughput scanning applications
