Description
The CF versions are offered using 304L or 316LN stainless steel flanges. Flanges in 304L stainless steel are used for the high vacuum KF and ISO viewports. The rugged construction of the Kodial viewports allows repeated bake-out with UHV performance, whilst the window offers broadband optical transmission from the visible to near infra-red. Anti-reflective coatings to match customer reflectance requirements are also processed at TSL. Please advise the wavelength or wavelength ranges of your application and a reflectance curve will be prepared. Non-standard viewports can be manufactured on request, including re-entrant style microscope/camera viewports. Annealed copper gaskets and other component accessories are also supplied by TSL.
