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
