Product Family Description

  • Designed for 0° Angle of Incidence
  • Less Than 0.4% Reflectance Per Surface from 425 - 675nm
  • MgF2 and VIS-NIR Coated Achromats Also Available

TECHSPEC® VIS 0° Coated Achromatic Lenses consist of two optical components cemented together to form an achromatic doublet. The doublet is computer optimized to correct for on-axis spherical and chromatic aberrations.  Achromatic lenses are best for applications involving multi-color (white light) imaging due to their specific doublet lens pairing that enables them to correct the color separation inherent in glass. TECHSPEC® VIS 0° Coated Achromatic Lenses provide optimized transmission for 425 – 675nm, reducing average reflection to 0.4%. MgF2 and VIS-NIR Coated Achromats are also available on our website.
