Custom Micro/Nano Fabrication
Custom chrome patterns, apertures and glass pattern masters for optical instruments and repeat pattern transfer.
Optical patterns and apertures
Alignment, slides and masters
Find the right product for the task
| Task or choice | Product route | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Control transmitted light | Slit / circular window / pinhole array | The opening is in the film; the glass remains in the optical path. |
| Modulate or reference position | Amplitude grating / fiducial marks | Periodic stripes modulate intensity; distinctive marks establish coordinates and orientation. |
| Repeat observation | Patterned slide / addressed array | Organise optical sites and return to the same location; surface chemistry is a separate choice. |
| Copy the pattern | Glass pattern master | Use a controlled source for a replication process; choose final instrument components separately. |
Bring the selected options into one specification
- Drawing, artwork and revision
- Substrate, dimensions and tolerances
- Pattern, alignment and optical targets
- Prototype, quantity and inspection needs
Selection notes
Custom micro-patterned glass combines drawing-defined apertures, fiducials, scales or optical graphics on a glass substrate.
