Example text
After the edges and sides are clean, move the optic to the black pad on the worktable and begin examining the optical surface(s). Position the optic under a diffused lamp, then tip and tilt the top surface using the reflected image of the lampshade edge on the optical surface to enhance the detail of the contaminants. Dust will appear white, whereas smears or fingerprints will look like lines or curves on the surface, grayish in color on an uncoated surface. On an AR-coated optic, the oils and fingerprints will appear brighter (reflective) against the background of the coating.
Over the past few decades, groups of concerned individuals have written papers and books to address the issue. It was decided that a recognized standards organization, along with leaders in the field, should develop and present a new series of guidelines for the optics industry and governments to follow. Introduced in 1996, ISO 10110 is an optic standard currently used throughout Europe with some interest in the United States. However, as of 2012, the ISO 10110 is not fully accepted by many US manufacturers or their customers.
Under diffused light, lay the optic flat on its side or hold it by its edge. 1 Inspecting optics for cleaning. magnification, examine the edge(s) and chamfers or bevels for dirt and oils. Protect the optical surface(s) before cleaning. Remove loose polishing compound, grease, and oils left from the manufacturing process. Examine the optic for manufacturing defects such as chips, fractures, and stains. After the edges and sides are clean, move the optic to the black pad on the worktable and begin examining the optical surface(s).
