The main defects that appear on optical elements are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blister: an inclusion or bubble under or within a coating that lifts the film.<\/li>\n<li>Breakage: a large edge chip on an optical element.<\/li>\n<li>Bubble: a gaseous inclusion in an optical material.<\/li>\n<li>Chip: an area on an optical material that has broken away from a\u00a0surface, edge (edge chip), or bevel.<\/li>\n<li>Crack: a fracture in the film (coating) or substrate of an optical element.<\/li>\n<li>Dig: a small rough spot on a surface, similar to a pit.<\/li>\n<li>Digestion: some kind of defect made by a chemical or environmental\u00a0force.<\/li>\n<li>Dirt: a stain on an optical surface (coated or uncoated) that can be\u00a0removed by standard cleaning procedures without damaging the surface.<\/li>\n<li>Discoloration: different colors of coating on the same surface.<\/li>\n<li>Dust: a number (often numerous) of small pieces of matter on a film.<\/li>\n<li>Fingerprint: unique oily pattern that remains on an optical surface after touching it with a bare finger.<\/li>\n<li>Flaking: partial separation of film(s) originating from the inner region of a coated area.<\/li>\n<li>Milkiness: cloudy areas within a optical material.<\/li>\n<li>Mold mark: marks on the surface produced by molding.<\/li>\n<li>Orange peel: a lens surface that has been improperly or insufficiently polished, which resembles the skin of an orange.<\/li>\n<li>Particle: a small piece of matter on\/in a film.<\/li>\n<li>Peeling: partial separation of thin film(s) originating from the peripheral zone of a coated area.<\/li>\n<li>Pinhole: a very small hole in a thin film.<\/li>\n<li>Rub: a series of small surface scratches, generally caused by mishandling.<\/li>\n<li>Run-ins: cement separation at the edge of a cemented component.<\/li>\n<li>Scratch: marking or tearing on a surface caused by either a sharp or\u00a0rough instrument.<\/li>\n<li>Sleek: a hairline, very fine scratch.<\/li>\n<li>Smear: residue of evaporated or unevaporated moisture.<\/li>\n<li>Spatter: imperfections that result when small chunks of coating material land on the substrate surface and adhere during the coating process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stain: a discolored spot or area (possibly caused by chemical reactions).<\/p>\n<p>Stone: an opaque inclusion in an optical material consisting of<br \/>\nundissolved or crystalline material.<\/p>\n<p>Striae: an internal imperfection of glass that appears as a wavy distortion. Only heavy striae may be observed with the unaided<br \/>\neye.<\/p>\n<p>Water spot: a spot that remains on the surface after water evaporates.<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:right;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.szlaser.com\/index.php\/wiki\/visible-defects-in-optical-elements\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Illustrations of Visible Defects in Optical Elements &gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":8230,"menu_order":101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10402","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.7 (Yoast SEO v25.8) -
