• For windows, domes and lenses for therma-imaging system
  • Standard ZnS, which appears orange, mainly works in Far-infrared region
  • Multi-spectrum ZnS (M-ZnS) shows excellent opticaproperties across the fulband of 0.4-12μm, can be used in Far-, Mid-, Near-infrared and visible regions.
  • Standard ZnS windows, lenses and domes with size up to Ø250×16mm. For M-ZnS, the maximum size is 300×200×15mm
