Microscope
Quarter Wave Compensator Plate Multi Layers - Polarizing Applications. (active layer 0.08mm). Technology - Hot Lamination.
Note: There are in usage
two types of Lambda retaining plates: Group one – Laminated and Group two –
Glass Mounted no lamination involved. Visual some differences are noticed due
to the technology used. Laminated plates are manufactured via hot lamination
and at the line of contact between active layer and neutral protection layers there
is a micrometric melted layer combining the last two bringing some more colors..
In group two – full Lambda retaining plates – the effect is reversed but less
noticeable. Manufacturing price for laminated plates is much lower since large
sheets are cut via multiple spindle micro mills or laser cutters. One of
disadvantages of laminated plates is a not very even color repartition under a
certain angle but their very low price is keeping them in the competition.(For
laser applications and special scientific research glass mounted (no lamination
involved) retaining plates - glass plus active layer are usually the chosen
choice.) Our specs are showing features of the active layer only.
