Anti-Reflective coating (AR) is a layered combination of materials of metals or oxides. These metals and oxides are put into a vacuum deposition coating machine in a powder form. As the materials and lenses rise in temperature, the oxide powder coats the lenses in a specific order depending on the type of coating being applied.

Anti-Reflective coating (AR) or sometimes called anti-glare coating are lens coatings designed to decrease or eliminate the amount of light that is reflected from your lenses. AR coating can be applied to the back, front or both sides of your lenses to help reduce the amount of glare or mirror effect you get when looking into your lenses. About 4% of light will be refracted at each surface of an uncoated lens. When AR is applied, it should reduce the refraction to less than .1%. This means that instead of only 91% of the lights that enter your lenses reaching your retina, 99.9% reaches your retina. You will definitely see better with antireflective coating on your lenses than without.

The ILSM series motorized stages feature an innovative design that combines sub-micron precision with ease of use and affordability, offering a convenient solution for programmable motion. The dual ball-bearing and lead screw stage features a proprietary optical moving encoder for constant step calibration, and two position sensors at each end for resetting and calibration. Each stage has a built-in smart motor driver having computer interfaces via USB/RS232 cable. Additionally, a manual control knob is built into the system: pressing it switches to manual mode; rotating it initiates motion; turning it further increases the speed; and turning it past the center reverses the direction of movement. Ethernet control is also available with an additional control box. The system comes with a wall-pluggable power supply and a user-friendly GUI that can be downloaded. A command list is provided to help customers write their own code. The unit has a center mounting plate that is compatible with optical components and stages End plate is available for creating optical setups or instruments. Multiple ILSM stages can be interconnected using the provided cables, allowing for single USB/RS232 GUI interface control. This setup enables the configuration of XYZ stages using various ILSM stage combinations. Associated mounting kits are available for purchase. The highest precision is achieved when moving in a single direction. Mounting plates
