The manufacture of precise optical prisms is time-consuming and requires appropriate manufacturing and metrological expertise. During fine grinding, an appropriate basic angular accuracy of the prism must be achieved, as the material removal during polishing is much lower than during grinding. … [Read more...] about GONIOMAT Extension for Ground Prisms – Save Time and Cost in the Production Process.
