Clean Rooms

Crystran has added two new clean rooms to the facility. One is set up for Double-Sided polishing and the other for inspection joined by a communicating window. This means that the optics can be processed and inspected without ever leaving the clean environment. Depending on the specification, some optics may need to be tested and packaged in a dust free clean room environment, so this facility was created in addition to the main inspection department.
