Description
Factory custom Optical glass dome lens sphere cover glass dome cover optical lens hemisphere cover
Specifications
-
Dome Type:— Hemispherical Dome Cover (half-sphere, open base — most common for camera/sensor protection)— Concentric / Aplanatic Dome (inner & outer surfaces share same center — zero net optical power for on-axis rays)— Partial Sphere / Segmented Dome (custom included angle, e.g. 90° or 120°)— Flanged Dome (with integral mounting lip or threaded collar per drawing)
