Request InfoMeller Optics Inc.PROVIDENCE, R.I., Nov. 3, 2011 — Sapphire and single crystal quartz cell windows for Beckman and other centrifuges are available from Meller Optics Inc. The windows are made from sapphire to resist chemicals and scratching and to withstand high pressure. They also are offered in single crystal quartz for less demanding applications. Measuring 19.03 ±0.03 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm ±0.10 mm thick, the ultraviolet cell windows are scribed on their edges with the projection of the optic axis to simplify alignment. Suitable for OEM and replacement applications, they are available wedged 1° or 2°...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Nov/Dec 2023 IssueSapphire and Ruby BallsThe Meller Sapphire and Ruby Balls from Meller Optics are miniature high-precision sapphire and ruby balls for use as bearings and mechanical components in medical and scientific instruments and as...Photonics.com 7/15/2022Sapphire WaveplatesSapphire Waveplates from Meller Optics Inc. can convert the polarization state of laser light into a different polarization state.
