Note:

  1. The radius tolerance depends on the radius value. For small radii, we manufacture test plates by producing balls, with which we can reach tolerances of +/-1~3μm.
  2. We can produce lenses with diameters 1mm~250mm and 0.5mm~20mm for Ball Lenses. We use the Chinese equivalent material to Schott's optical glass and assure the material quality.
  3. Other special materials (Fused Silica, Quartz, CaF2, etc.) are also frequently used.
