Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Thermal Imaging Cameras work similarly to traditional visible camera systems; while traditional cameras form images using visible light; thermal cameras form images using infrared radiation; operating in wavelengths as long as 14µm. Spherical aberration occurs in common singlet lenses, which results in an image that appears distorted, aspheric lenses correct spherical aberration. An aspheric lens surface is designed non-spherical, which allows a single component lens to collimate or focus highly divergent rays, Read PDF for more information… Material::Germanium, ZnSe, Caf2, Silicon, Zinc Selenide (For LWIR) Diameter::Up to 200mm dia +0, -0.02mm Thickness::+/- 0.2mm Flatness::< 1/2 wave over 90% aperture Surface Quality::< 40-20 scratch/dig Parallelism::5 arcmin Coating::AR/DLC (3-5 micron, 7-14 micron, 10-12 micron)
