QED Technologies of Rochester, N.Y., an exclusive provider of magnetorheological finishing and subaperture stitching interferometry, has announced implementation of one of its aspheric stitching interferometers at Leibniz Institute for Surface Modification (IOM) in Leipzig, Germany. The new interferometer will enable IOM to develop surface figuring and finishing steps that produce surfaces with accuracies in the nanometer range. The instrument will be used specifically for precision fabrication and measurement of aspheres.

Glossary
magnetorheological finishing
Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is a precision optics polishing technique used for shaping and finishing optical surfaces to achieve extremely high levels of smoothness and accuracy. It is commonly applied to lenses, mirrors, prisms, and other optical components in various industries, including astronomy, microscopy, and laser systems. The process involves using a magnetorheological fluid—a liquid containing ferrous (iron) particles—and a magnetic field to perform the...
