Product Overview

Specify K9 Optical Glass Dome Window by aperture, surface accuracy and mounting

The dome geometry can reduce mechanical clipping around wide-angle optics while isolating the internal assembly from contact and contamination. K9 provides a practical balance of optical quality, manufacturability and cost for laboratory and OEM housings.

Match outside diameter, dome height and wall thickness to both the housing and entrance-pupil position. Critical imaging systems should evaluate distortion, concentricity and transmitted wavefront before production release.

Choose the window around transmitted wavefront and environment

Performance considerations

The dome geometry can reduce mechanical clipping around wide-angle optics while isolating the internal assembly from contact and contamination. K9 provides a practical balance of optical quality, manufacturability and cost for laboratory and OEM housings.

Selection and mounting

Match outside diameter, dome height and wall thickness to both the housing and entrance-pupil position. Critical imaging systems should evaluate distortion, concentricity and transmitted wavefront before production release.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
