Witness Samples

Polymer Raw Materials

Apollo Optical Systems is the world leader in Polymer Optics. As such, we understand the necessity for high quality raw materials during the prototyping and manufacturing processes.

Standard 25.4 mm x 1.5 mm round witness samples are available for use in coating runs. Using the same material as the optics ensures that measurement of the optical coating matches the performance of the lenses. Most coaters use fused silica witness samples and adjust the results to show the optical performance with the polymer optic. Make sure your coater uses the same witness sample material as your optic!
