In 1904, a chemical method of producing AR coatings was developed by British inventor/optical designer Harold Dennis Taylor (Cooke Company), followed by the invention and development of:

Ar coating

The longest objective lens is an oil immersion objective lens, which magnifies 100x. The total magnification is 1000x if the eyepiece lens is 10x power. The oil immersion objective lens is used for examining the detail of individual cells, such as red blood cells. This lens requires a special oil to form a link between the edge of the objective and the cover slip. Before you use an oil immersion objective lens, ensure the specimen is in focus under the high-power objective lens. After you remove the high-power objective, put a tiny amount of oil onto the cover slip above the specimen, and then move the oil immersion lens into position.

Every microscope has an eyepiece lens, which is the lens at the top that you look through. A tube connects the eyepiece lens to objective lenses, which enhance the magnification power of the eyepiece lens. The eyepiece lens is usually 10x or 15x power (i.e., what you look at appears to be 10 times or 15 times closer than it actually is). A rotating nosepiece or turret holds two or more objective lenses, and you can easily switch between them to change power. A microscope's stage is the flat platform that holds the slides. Some microscopes also have a condenser lens, which focuses the light onto the object, and a diaphragm or iris, which is a revolving disk with holes of varying sizes. The iris is used to vary the intensity and size of the light that is streamed upward into the slide.

Development of AR coatings continued over the coming decades and in 2002, Diamond Coatings established its first ITO and AR Coating manufacturing plant in the Midlands, UK. Operations were expanded to Arizona, USA in 2016 and today, Diamond Coatings is a leading supplier of AR & ITO coatings to world-wide industries including:

The first, and simplest, type of AR coating was discovered in 1886 by British Physicist and Nobel Prize Winner (physics, 1904) John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh (Lord Rayleigh). Upon testing some old, tarnished glass pieces (chemical reactions between the environment and the optical glass of his time tended to cause surface tarnishing on glass as it aged), Lord Raleigh found that – to his surprise – these tarnished pieces transmitted more light than clean, new pieces.

Let’s take a closer look at electrically conductive plastics and explore how we utilise Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coating technology to unlock their potential.

Most microscopes come with at least three objective lenses, which provide the majority of image enhancement. The function of objective lenses is to magnify objects enough for you to see them in great detail.

Consisting of thin transparent film structures, many AR coatings have layers of alternating contrasting refractive indexes. The thickness of layers is selected to generate destructive interference within beams reflected from interfaces, as well as constructive interference within corresponding transmitted beams. Making the structure’s performance alter with incident angles and wavelengths, this frequently causes colour effects to appear at oblique angles.

Optical coating

Before you use a microscope, it helps to know what all the different parts are for. Many people believe that the objective lenses are the most important components of a microscope. Basically, without them, your microscope experience would be very disappointing.

A scanning objective lens that magnifies 4x is the shortest objective and is useful for getting a general overview of a slide. A low-power objective lens magnifies 10x, but remember that it is coupled with an eyepiece lens, so the total magnification is 10x times the power of the eyepiece lens. A high-power objective lens magnifies 40x, with total magnification 400x if the eyepiece lens is 10x power, and it is ideal for observing very fine detail, such as nerve cells in the retina or the striations in skeletal muscle.

Surface coating

At Diamond Coatings, we take pride in being a leading TCO films supplier, specialising in the deposition of high-quality ITO.

Although it is necessary to specify wavelength ranges when designing/ordering anti reflective coatings, good performances can frequently be achieved for comparatively wide frequency ranges. Choices offered usually include IR (infra-red), visible and UV (ultra-violet). The question is, where did it all begin?

At Diamond Coatings, we’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of touch technology. We’re not just manufacturers – we’re innovators

Elimination of reflection is itself the primary benefit for many applications, including, for instance, coatings to reduce the glint from telescopic sights or the binoculars of covert viewers, and coatings on the lenses of eyeglasses.

Of particular benefit is the large size of the parts that Diamond Coatings can apply AR coatings to. We can anti-reflect parts up to 1m x 1m, which is much larger than typical for the coating industry.

As the name suggests, anti reflective (AR) coatings are optical coatings applied to the surfaces of optical elements, lenses, etc. to reduce reflection. Improving the efficiency of typical imaging systems (reduced reflections means reduced loss of light), AR coatings also improve complex systems’ (microscopes, telescopes, etc.) contrast of images by eliminating stray light, which is particularly important for planetary astronomy.

Anti-fingerprint coatings create a barrier against everyday marks, ensuring that your devices, and other surfaces, remain pristine and clear.

The surface tarnish replaced the interface between air and glass with two new, air-tarnish and tarnish-glass interfaces. Due to the tarnish having a refractive index between glass and air, these two interfaces each exhibited less reflection than a clean air-glass interface. The total of these two interfaces’ reflections is, in fact, less than the reflection of a ‘naked’ interface between air and glass, which can be calculated via the Fresnel Equations.
