Latest News  Next Generation Ellipsoidal Mirrors for X-Ray DiffractionOptical Surfaces Ltd. is offering high-precision ellipsoidal mirrors that offer unmatched pinpoint focusing for high resolution spectroscopy in the soft and hard X-ray regions. Drawing upon skilled craftsmen working in a uniquely stable production environment, Optical Surfaces is able to produce ultra-smooth ellipsoidal mirrors able to deliver an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spot that exactly matches your spectrometer detector resolution. As a consequence, the resolution and angular range of XRD measurements can ... Astronomical Research Drives Improvements in Optical TechnologyOptical Surfaces Ltd. has published an article 'Unveiling the Cosmos' that discusses the latest challenges and trends in modern astronomy and describes how these advances have acted as a significant driver towards the improvement of their optical technologies. Using new high homogeneity optical materials and improved polishing compounds has enabled Optical Surfaces to make further improvements in their manufacturing of large space optics with very tight manufacturing tolerances. Combining this with ... Mounted or Unmounted Spherical MirrorsOptical Surfaces Ltd. is a leading international manufacturer of high precision spherical mirrors with radii (Rc) from 25 to 5000mm (1 to 200 inches) for use in UV-Visible and Infrared applications including Schlieren imaging, wind tunnels, observatory spectrographs, bubble chambers and as hindle spheres to test hyperboloids. Over the last 50+ years, Optical Surfaces has produced concave and convex spherical mirrors with diameters up to 1.3 metres (511 inches) in a ... Illustrated Guide to Aligning Off-Axis ParaboloidsOptical Surfaces Ltd. announces that it produced an updated version of its popular 'Practical Guide to Off-Axis Paraboloid Alignment Procedures'. Off-axis paraboloids, also referred to as off-axis parabolic mirrors, provide the advantage of an unhindered aperture and access to the focal plane. They are ideal for broadband or multiple wavelength applications, thanks to their complete achromatic performance. Off-axis paraboloids often deliver the most cost-effective solution without compromising performance to many problems ... |
