43-888 5 mm Dia. Borofloat33 Protective Flat Window; t=1.75 mm Uncoated

The 43-888 is a 5 mm diameter, 1.75 mm thick uncoated Borofloat33 protective flat window, available from Edmund Optics. This window is a flat, circular optical component designed for general-purpose use in various applications.

Borofloat33, also known as borosilicate glass, is a popular material for optical components due to its excellent chemical resistance, high transparency, and low autofluorescence. It is also known for its mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

The window has a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of 1.75 mm, making it a thin lens. The term "thin lens" is used when the thickness of the lens is much smaller than its diameter, which is the case here. This thin lens shape helps minimize optical aberrations and distortions, making the window ideal for use in imaging systems and other applications where high optical quality is required.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, an uncoated window is often sufficient for general-purpose use. It is also more cost-effective and easier to clean and maintain than coated windows.
