VIS LENSES

VIS lenses are available in all shapes and sizes that can be found in other categories, but they are specifically optimized for the light in the visible spectrum. To reach good imaging properties for the 400-700 nm wavelengths a selection of materials are used like fused silica, N-BK7 or other SCHOTT standard glasses. To further improve the quality of lenses, special coatings are applied that can reduce reflection (AR coatings and/or reduce transmission of undesirable infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths). The applications for VIS lenses include any optical devices relying on the human vision that don’t implement any intermediate digital modifications to light (microscopes, spectacles, telescopes).
