    SUPER
    POLISHING

    Over the past five decades WZWOPTICAG has been recognised as a leader in the manufacture of high precision optics located in Switzerland, in the 

    Rhine valley.

     

    Super polished surfaces with roughness measuring less than 1 Ångström are manufactured to achieve the lowest level of scattered light.

    Super polishing refers to the “roughness“ of a surface and is completely independent of surface figure. Super polished surfaces are often required in applications where it is critical to reduce scattered light of optical elements, either in reflection or in transmission.
