SAPPHIRE LENSES, WINDOWS & DOMES PROTECT ROBOT SENSORS IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
Meller Sapphire Optics can be supplied as lenses, flat windows, and domes custom fabricated in sizes from 3/8” to 4” dia. and varying wall thicknesses.Featuring Mohs 9 hardness, they are impervious to water, most acids and chemicals including fluorine to 300°C, abrasion caused by fast moving particulates, temperatures to 1,000°C, and pressures to 10,000 psi.

MELLER OPTICS INTRODUCES WHITEPAPER DESCRIBING SAPPHIRE PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS
Meller Optics’ Properties and Applications of Sapphire Whitepaper provides a comprehensive description of this robust opto-electronic material including its hexagonal/rhombohedral structure and property dependent plane orientations. The 8-page paper includes descriptions of the benefits of strength, durability, and optical clarity of sapphire relative to each plane along with charts depicting physical properties, wavelength and refractive index.

OPTICS POLISHING ABRASIVES FOR GRINDING, LAPPING & POLISHING ALL MATERIALS
Meller Microlux Powders come in seven particle sizes from 0.05 to 3.0 microns for mixing with ionized water and application directly to optics mounted on spot blocks. Capable of producing finishes to 10-5 scratch-dig, two ultrapure grades are offered: Microlux-R for aggressive grinding of hard materials and Microlux-RZ for ultra-fine polishing of soft materials.
